getFont()
This function should return a list of fonts that the GUI should attempt to use as the general
purpose font for e.g. group labels. The first font in the list that the system can successfully
find and load will be used. Each entry in the list is a Lua table, defining the file name and
point size of the font. All the standard locations are searched for the font file - on Mac OS
X, that’s
Library/Fonts
in the user, local and system domains; on Windows, it’s
$WINDIR
\Fonts
.
E.g.
function getFont()
if isMac then
return { { name="GillSans.dfont", size=14 }, { name="Monaco.dfont", size=12 } }
else
return { { name="tahoma.ttf", size=14 }, { name="arial.ttf", size=12 } }
end
end
getLabelFont()
As getFont(), but returns the font to be used for knob labels.
getTextFieldFont()
As getFont(), but return the font to be used for editable text fields.

rameter value display)
•
Create the ‘renderers’ that handle actually drawing knobs, buttons etc.
•
Create groups, knobs, buttons etc.

Lay out the groups and other elements.
