Hi,
Here is part of the program :
int freeobj1_handle(FL_OBJECT *ob, int ev, FL_Coord mx, FL_Coord my,
int key, void *xev)
{
int i;
float d, alpha, x, y, x1, x2, y1, y2;
alpha=(M_PI*3.5)/180;
fl_ovalf(515,150,40,40,FL_TOMATO);
fl_ovall(513,148,44,44,FL_BLACK);
for (i=0;i<25;i++)
{
d=value/75;
if(d<10500)
{
x=535+22*sin(Angle(0,i)+M_PI);
y=170+22*cos(Angle(0,i)+M_PI);
x1=535+d*sin(Angle(0,i)+alpha+M_PI);
y1=170+d*cos(Angle(0,i)+alpha+M_PI);
x2=535+d*sin(Angle(0,i)-alpha+M_PI);
y2=170+d*cos(Angle(0,i)-alpha+M_PI);
fl_line(x,y,x1,y1,FL_BLACK);
fl_line(x,y,x2,y2,FL_BLACK);
fl_line(x1,y1,x2,y2,FL_BLACK);
XFlush( fl_get_display() );
}
}
return 0;
}
The function is to draw a filled circle, a line circle and three lines within the area of the free object (location is 395,30,280,280). All the lines will change their lengths according to the data defined by the following routine.
void length()
{
(get the new data);
fl_redraw_object(fr);
}
This routine is called when there are new data arrived. It gets the new data and call fl_redraw_object() and the rate is really fast (more than 3 times per sec). fr is the pointer pointing to the free object.
Other objects like buttons and sliders just handed and not response when running. The free object is updated but overlap with the old one. Can somebody tell me why?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ricky
