GUI Group Information

[ryukau]

Hi.

I'm trying to get GUI hierarchy from Faust code. I'd like to get:

• the label of v/h/tgroup.
• a parent group of element, or children of a group.

Is this possible with faustpp?

Hello,
not at present time, it will be certainly nice to have it though.
Admittedly, I'm not much familiar with these primitives, but it does not look too difficult.
I can find an example in "examples/misc/UITester.dsp".

Thanks for the answer.

I looked into faustpp code, and it's using faust's -xml option to get UI information. For my use case, the generated xml file is good enough. There's also -json option that do the same thing.

So feel free to close this issue. Sorry for the noise.
