| 14:28.26 | Ezro | Hey everyone. Is there a way to convert the Frame Coordinates (from frame:GetLeft() / frame:GetBottom() / frame:GetCenter()) into screen coordinates? I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that. |
| 14:31.20 | *** join/#wowuidev Breen (~Breen@80.175.117.105) |
| 14:32.11 | Ezro | I found this article: https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/SetTexCoord_Transformations, but I'm not sure if it's what I'm looking for. :x |
| 14:56.40 | foxlit | it's not. What do you mean by screen coordinates? |
| 14:57.47 | Ezro | If my monitor is 1920x1080, for instance, I want to be able to tell my addon to move a frame to (960, 540) to have it be in the center of my screen. And if I ask the addon for the coordinates of frames, I'd want it to be in screen coordinates. |
| 14:58.09 | Ezro | (960, 540) instead of saying CENTER (0, 0) |
| 15:00.07 | nevcairiel | screen coordinates like that are not directly a thing in the wow ui |
| 15:00.36 | nevcairiel | you can compute them if you want to though |
| 15:01.10 | nevcairiel | but you would have to do that yourself |
| 15:01.43 | foxlit | Keep in mind that the client can also render at resolutions that aren't exactly equal to your monitor resolution, and c'thun help you if you resize a windowed client. |
| 15:02.53 | nevcairiel | resolution of the UI is a bit of a weird concept, it always renders to a preset resolution, which is then scaled by UI Scale and then adapted to your screen |
| 15:03.47 | foxlit | I think "resolution" lost any semblance of meaning halfway through that sentence. |
| 15:03.55 | Ezro | I found this article which seems to outline the things you guys are talking about: https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/UI_coordinates |
| 15:04.07 | Ezro | But I'm not sure what that computation / conversion would look like. :-/ |
| 15:05.48 | foxlit | In any case, GetLeft and similar functions' return values are affected by the frame's effective scale. |
| 15:08.10 | foxlit | (so first remove that scaling, then divide by 768 and multiply by your monitor's vertical resolution.) |
| 15:10.03 | Ezro | Ah, and I'd assume I'd need to do the same thing for the width as well? |
| 15:13.16 | Ezro | But wait. I think the main problem I'm running into is that if I do GetBottom() it's relative to the position (CENTER, LEFT, etc.) |
| 15:14.52 | foxlit | That seems unlikely. |
| 15:15.37 | nevcairiel | all these functions are supposed to be relative to UIParent bottom left |
| 15:15.50 | nevcairiel | or screen bottom left? who knows, thats often identical |
| 15:22.20 | Ezro | Ah, I see what you're saying. I think I'm getting closer, but I'll keep tinkering. |
| 15:30.01 | Chipzz | Ezro: there's also Region:GetRect() (which does suffer the same limitation mentioned above though) |
| 15:30.47 | Ennea | ^ love that function name btw |

| 15:43.24 | Chipzz | someone should update the channels topic |
| 15:49.42 | Ezro | Hey guys, I was able to get the formula working for the X coordinate, but is there a way to determine what aspect ratio I'm working with? |
| 15:50.27 | Ezro | For instance, if I'm expecting 890 to be my X, I was able to do 633 / 1366 * 1920 => 890 |
| 15:50.49 | Ezro | But from what the article is saying, the 1366 is dependent on what aspect ratio the user has set (16:9 in my case). |
| 15:52.31 | Ezro | If anything, I can bake it into my addon and use a lookup, but it'd be nice if there were an API call for that. |
| 15:54.50 | Meorawr | Is there an actual reason you can't just use anchors instead of working in screen coordinates? |
| 15:54.56 | foxlit | coincidentially, 1920/1366 ~ 1080/768 |
| 15:55.40 | foxlit | the heart wants what the heart wants, Meo. |
| 15:57.53 | Ezro | I think it's mainly because I don't fully understand what I'm doing. lol |

| 16:19.47 | Ezro | I'm going to look more into anchoring since that seems to be the standard. Thanks for all of the help everyone! |
| 16:56.53 | Chipzz | am I the only one who was thinking "*cringe* idiot" after that? |
| 16:57.23 | Funkeh` | yes |
| 16:57.49 | Chipzz | Funkeh`: you must have become telepathic :P |
| 17:01.44 | Ennea | idiot? certainly not |
| 17:01.59 | Ennea | they just didn't understand the basics of WoW's ui yet |
| 17:02.03 | Ennea | does that make them an idiot? nah |
| 17:02.14 | Ennea | i found it pretty alien at first, too |
| 17:03.24 | Chipzz | Ennea: the idiot part is in reference to trying to work around the anchoring system, not in failing to understand it |
| 17:03.49 | Ennea | them trying to work around it is probably a direct result of them not understanding it |
| 17:04.00 | Funkeh` | It's a shame he's not as superior as you |

| 17:07.22 | Funkeh` | https://www.wowhead.com/news=318830/world-of-warcraft-shadowlands-new-release-date-is-november-23 |
| 17:07.27 | Chipzz | the whole anchoring API is centered around relative coordinates; trying to shoehorn your addon into absolute coordinats is just... |
| 17:08.02 | Funkeh` | https://www.wowhead.com/news=318831/shadowlands-season-1-and-castle-nathria-launches-december-8th |
| 17:08.55 | Chipzz | absolute positioning is sth you probably only need in very special cases, like trying to align your addons UI with an overlay or a screen reader |
| 17:09.07 | Ennea | yea, but look at it this way |
| 17:09.24 | Ennea | typically absolute positioning is what you have when stringing together your own shit. making your own game or whatever |
| 17:09.44 | Ennea | WoW's anchoring stuff works super well, but if you don't know about it yet, you typically try to fall back to what you _do_ know |
| 17:11.17 | Chipzz | well, since he was looking at the wiki, I'm going to assume he already found the relevant API and did know about it |
| 17:11.39 | Ennea | don't assume things. just ask and/or help |
