Re: [mh] Floor plan, who's using it?

[Paul C. <pa...@ci...>]

Neil, I hope to be using it after I get a few more things working.
Speaking of which, my first kick at an Ethernet IO module is attached.
If you could review it and post it in the appropriate area I would 
appreciate it.
I'm sure I could have done things more concisely, but I'm not a perl expert 
yet, and it does work.
Cheers
Paul

Ah, well I've taken care of that by updating the documentation on
the Wiki! :-) I couldn't figure out how to use it either.

http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/Floor+Plan

The good news is that the HTML and the SVG versions of Floor Plan
use the same setup.

I might suggest that you use the following files to replace
the existing floor plan files:

<http://ushomeautomation.com/Projects/DollHouse/code/read_table_A.pl>

<http://ushomeautomation.com/Projects/DollHouse/code/floorplan.pl>

<http://ushomeautomation.com/Projects/DollHouse/code/floorplan_SVG.pl>

The floor plan files go into your ~mh/web/bin directory and the read
table file goes into the ~mh/lib/ directory. Backup the original
versions before hand and be careful with svn updates.

One of the new things I've added to the read table file is the
CODE type. It allows me to do stuff like this:

(items.mht file)

X10I, M9, GarageDoorLamp, M|Porch(28;2), myPLM
CODE, $GarageDoorLamp->set_fp_icons(on => 'fp-ds10-on.png', off => 
'fp-ds10-off.png');

This allows me to assign icons to the device states. I can also do
this:

GROUP, Gar, Property(40;10;10;24)
CODE, $Gar->{title} = "Garage and workshop";

What this does is to allow the Garage to display:

Garage and workshop

when you hover of the Garage (only in the SVG version).

The reason I haven't checked these in yet is that I'm not certain I
want this (it could be really annoying) or I might come up with a
better way to deal with this.

Remember, this works best with Firefox. So far IE, Safari and Opera
have problems with the floor plan software.

Thoughts?
