| ksr | simple pie menuHere's a simple pie context menu implementation in FreeBASIC. Right click and drag to select. The idea with pie menus is that once you know where everything is you can select items much more quickly than with a typical drop down menu. This is because you can just drag the mouse as far away as (i.e. as fast as) you want from the centre, as long as it's in the right direction. For this reason pie menus are also much more accessible than drop down menus. Their limitation is that for menus with more than 6 or 7 items selection takes just as long as with a drop down menu.
If you want to use this in a GUI you are free to do so and should be quite simple to implement. It supports any number of menu items ('slices'). The only thing you'll probably want to change is the font.

| ksr | Re:simple pie menulol :P I'm sure you could improve on this. Nested menus would be cool for one thing. | 2010-04-23 | 12:39 AM |
