## FLcount

FLcount — A FLTK widget opcode that creates a counter.

## Description

Plugin opcode in widgets. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. These FLTK widgets do not work on the Mac. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins

Allows the user to increase/decrease a value with mouse clicks on a corresponding arrow button.

## Syntax

    kout, ihandle FLcount "label", imin, imax, istep1, istep2, itype, \
          iwidth, iheight, ix, iy, iopcode [, kp1] [, kp2] [, kp3] [...] [, kpN]

## Initialization

ihandle -- a handle value (an integer number) that unequivocally references a corresponding widget. Used by further opcodes that changes some valuator's properties. It is automatically set by the corresponding valuator.

“label” -- a double-quoted string containing some user-provided text, placed near the corresponding widget.

imin -- minimum value of output range

imax -- maximum value of output range

istep1 -- a floating-point number indicating the increment of valuator value corresponding to of each mouse click. istep1 is for fine adjustments.

istep2 -- a floating-point number indicating the increment of valuator value corresponding to of each mouse click. istep2 is for coarse adjustments.

itype -- an integer number denoting the appearance of the valuator.

iwidth -- width of widget.

iheight -- height of widget.

ix -- horizontal position of upper left corner of the valuator, relative to the upper left corner of corresponding window (expressed in pixels).

iy -- vertical position of upper left corner of the valuator, relative to the upper left corner of corresponding window (expressed in pixels).

iopcode -- score opcode type. You have to provide the ascii code of the letter corresponding to the score opcode. At present time only “i” (ascii code 105) score statements are supported. A zero value refers to a default value of “i”. So both 0 and 105 activates the i opcode. A value of -1 disables this opcode feature.

## Performance

kout -- output value

kp1, kp2, ..., kpN -- arguments of the activated instruments.

FLcount allows the user to increase/decrease a value with mouse clicks on corresponding arrow buttons:

FLcount.

There are two kind of arrow buttons, for larger and smaller steps. Notice that FLcount not only outputs a value and a handle, but can also activate (schedule) an instrument provided by the user each time a button is pressed. P-fields of the activated instrument are kp1 (instrument number), kp2 (action time), kp3 (duration) and so on with user p-fields. If the iopcode argument is set to a negative number, no instrument is activated. So this feature is optional.

## Examples

Here is an example of the FLcount opcode. It uses the file FLcount.csd.
