Re: Dynamic updates to GB via AddGraphicsScript and Eval/Expr - throwing "Name Unresolved"

 

Figured it out. Rather than reach for the value of `key` at eval time, we can save it when initializing the GB. Here, we're calling it `beta`, but key/beta are just references to one of words("a b c")

 

toggle = expr(
	x = random integer(10,90);
	y = random integer(10,90);
	
	foreach({key}, map,
		gb = map[key];
		f = gb[framebox(1)];
		f << add graphics script(
			eval(eval expr( text({x,y}, expr(beta)) )) // change #1
		)
	)
);


vlb = vlistbox();
map = [=>];

foreach({alpha}, words("a b c"),
	map[alpha] = eval(eval expr(graphbox(suppress axes, frame size(100,100),

		beta = expr(alpha); // change #2 (plus wrapping GB in eval/eval expr
		
	)));
	vlb<<append( map[alpha] )
);

nw3 = new window("ex",outlinebox("what",
	{"toggggggle", toggle, "toggle2", toggle2},
	vlb
))
