GUI: tooltips and Edit
Mode
The graphic engine has been designed
with a purpose in mind: keeping a clear
indication of the status of the graphic
elements without altering their 3D
rendering on the scene. Tooltips serve
this purpose perfectly especially when
dealing with knobs status. A typical
approach to this problem would be to
compress the height of the knobs trying
to prevent the user to commit parallax
errors. As a side effect the graphic
designer would be forced to take into
account this constraint by limiting the
3D depth of the scene.
Another good reason to use a tooltip-
based approach is to allow the update
of the knobs status by using an Edit
Mode.

When using a state-of-the-art system –

Installation Guide – SatunLO GUI is able
to deliver more than 60 FPS at a
reasonably low CPU usage for a super
fluid knob tweaking and a hyper
realistic meter response.
The Views
Two 3-dimensional views are available
with this release: a more standard “2D
like” and a “full 3D style”. These views
can be swapped by double-clicking on
“SwitchGui.bat”, which is located in
your plugin/renderer installation folder,
and then by restarting your sequencer.
This operation affects all the instances
of the plugin.
