Title: Best way to manage many dynamic objects
Post by: qwerty100 on November 19, 2019, 05:47:01 PM

I'm new to ESD and I'm looking for advice to create a display something like a radar display, where i need place between 0 and N spots on the screen and position and render these according to incoming data from an external source unrelated to Eve Code.

Each spot is independent from the others. I can kind of achieve this by creating a fixed number of ESDCircle widgets offscreen and linking each independently with their own unique  ESD_FUNCTION as shown in the attached pic

However this feels very inefficient as I need 6 unique functions for each of my N spots.

Is there are more effective/efficient way of achieving this result?

Is there any way of defining an array of widgets? If so how is indexing determined?
Within an ESD based project, can I dynamically add and manage widgets through external code?
Can I create a custom ESD_FUNCTION that would set all my parameters in one call? (valid,x,y,w,h,col)

Thanks in advance

For widget creating in dynamic way,  you may find the reference code in "Examples\Intermediate\ScrollPanel" under installation folder.  Open the project and see
the code in MainPage.c.
