Astrobasic / new command: popup

« on: December 16, 2020, 12:11:52 PM »

from the help:

[popup]
Syntax: popup(int x, int y, char options[$], label onclick, char default);
Action: present a popupmenu. If default >= 0 that entry will be selected.

Example:

Code: [Select]

window(666, 666);
char s[99];
int n;
button(0,0, "Test", test);
run;

:test;
  popup(99, 99, "one|two|three", test1);
  return;

:test1;
  strset(s, "%d %d", n, menunumber);
  setcaption(s);
  n += 1;
  return;

Astrobasic / Re: Astrobasic script to generate excel with planetary days and hours?

« on: December 13, 2020, 09:35:55 AM »

That is why planetdance is no open source, people could get hurt reading all my code haha.

Congrats Vivian, for me this is a gift, other people making scripts for themselves.

What error did you get when using :searchhouse ? Maybe 'nested if'?

I don't mind sharing the codes but it's messy inside hahaha which was why Jean had a difficult time figuring out what I was trying to do

Hi Kate,

Ed is right, we are programmers, we need numbers, the divisions in longitude.
And some names or something, maybe even glyphs or something?

Welcome Kate,
Planetdance uses the swiss ephemeris for calculations, results are in longitudes from 0 to 360, mostly translated to 12 signs of 30 degrees.
There are no methods for other divisions. That would have to be programmed, and it would need the data how to divide the circle.
And i'm confused, you say the zodiac is 28 houses but then you talk about the housesystem. Do you want another zodiac or another housesystem?

Hi Vivian,

Finally found the time to have a decent look at your code. First i wasn't sure which planet you wanted the houseposition of but then it became clear finally.
I am very pleased to see your code, using switch() and things like if (P2[k] = map1[n] and P1[k] in map1 and (As[k]=3 or As[k]=1))
My compliments!

This may be what you want?

You can also duplicate a chart.

Planetdance for windows / Re: Ability to add user defined points

« on: December 01, 2020, 11:43:29 AM »

Yes and no, there are no additional points besides those in options - objects.
However if you have programming knowledge you can make your own module. See for instance time tools phaethon ephemeris.

Here is a list with all ephemeris data astrodienst has https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/seasnam.txt
You have to download ephemeris files for the bodies you want.
I could make a general interface in the language to support such extra files, but you'd have to make your own scripts with it, it won't be integrated into the rest of planetdance.
In fact i just made such an interface:

From the help:
getbody

Syntax: real getbody(int n, real jd, real inf[2]);
Action: calculates body n, for julian day jd, returns longitude, and puts speed and declination into inf.
Example, this one calculates Nessus:

Code: [Select]

int time[6];
real jd, p, inf[2];
jd = getsystemtime(time);
p = getbody(17066, jd, inf);
run;

« on: November 30, 2020, 08:42:21 PM »

For me this touches a important issue. It's the same as a planet in the first or last degree of a sign close to ingress. A minute later or earlier and the sign changes. I do admit the validity of the request but this is just the way it works. You would not ask me to give an option to make 29.59 aries into 00.01 taurus now would you?

Maybe Ed is willing to give such an option in your case but this is how it looks to me. Why don't you change the birthtime a bit if you feel someone is definitely night or day sect?

Planetdance for windows / Re: Transit On Status Bar Covering Up Other Text

« on: November 27, 2020, 07:52:39 AM »

I made this change to put checkboxes for node / pars / parallax in the statusbar but completely forgot about the live transit.
I don't think there's room for both. If you want to keep the live transit, go to options - settings - general and uncheck Calculation 'show these in statusbar'.
There's just not enough room for both.
