Symmetric Slider Skew

[danradix]

Hi!

I’ve added a symmetric slider skew feature in https://github.com/soundradix/JUCE/tree/feature/symmetric_slider_skew.

With this mode, the skew factor applies from the middle of a slider to each of its ends, instead of from one of the ends to the other.

Specifically, this is useful for sliders which have a symmetric range around the midpoint zero.

Would buy a beer at AES for a review and a merge into the juce repo

Thanks!
Dan

Bump.

Make it a whiskey.

That’s interesting I’ve just put forward a suggestion for having a lambda as an alternative to the skew in NormalisedRange, the same thing could be applied here and it would offer greater flexibility.

Suggestion: Replace skew with lambdas

In the NormalisedRange class the constructor takes a template argument for a skew which is used to essentially create curves, however I think a possibly more flexible alternative would be to take two lambdas. These lambdas could take values between 0 and 1 and return values between 0 and 1, one would map linear values to non-linear values and the the other would linearise the non-linear values. This would allow for curves such as a sigmoid for example.

Hi Dan.

We’ve had a look at your code and it’s up for review soon. I expect it’ll be tested and pushed sometime next week.

Hey Dan,

Your Symmetric Slider Skew code was pushed to develop!

Thanks for sending this
