ofParameterGroup does not accept ofParameter< ofVec2f > but ofParameter< ofDefaultVec2 >

Hi,

I noticed that when trying to add an ofParameter < ofVec2f > to ofParameterGroup, i got this error:

[warning] ofxBaseGroup; no control for parameter of type 11ofParameterI7ofVec2fE
and the sliders don’t appear.
(the same problem occurred with ofVec3f and ofVec4f ).

Though the ofxGuiGroup should accept the type ofVec2f, in ofxGuiGroup.cpp line 85:

}else if(type == typeid(ofParameter <ofDefaultVec2> ).name()){

I tried replacing ofVec2f with ofDefaultVec2 while adding it to an ofParameterGroup and it works, but I guess it should be possible to use ofVec2f ? Or am I missing something here?

here is my code if you want to test it :slight_smile:

ofApp.h :

#pragma once

#include “ofMain.h”
#include “ofxGui.h”

class ofApp : public ofBaseApp{
public:
void setup();
void update();
void draw();

    ofParameter<float> size;
    ofParameter< ofDefaultVec2 > number1;
    ofParameter< ofVec2f > number2;
    ofParameter<bool> check;
    ofParameterGroup parameters1;
    ofParameterGroup parameters2;
    ofParameter<ofColor> color;
    ofxPanel gui;

};

ofApp.cpp :

#include “ofApp.h”

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::setup(){
gui.setup();

parameters1.setName("parameters");
parameters1.add(size.set("size",10,0,100));

// gui.add(number.set(“number”,ofVec2f(0,0), ofVec2f(-10,-10), ofVec2f(10,10)));
parameters1.add(number1.set(“number1”,ofVec2f(0,0), ofVec2f(-10,-10), ofVec2f(10,10)));
parameters1.add(number2.set(“number2”,ofVec2f(0,0), ofVec2f(-10,-10), ofVec2f(10,10)));
parameters1.add(check.set(“check”,false));
parameters1.add(color.set(“color”,ofColor(127),ofColor(0,0),ofColor(255)));
parameters2.setName(“testParameters”);
parameters2.add(parameters1);
gui.add(parameters2);

}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::update(){

}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::draw(){
gui.draw();

}

Best,

Since the last version of openFrameworks, you should specify vector using glm, that means, use glm::vec2 instead of Vec2f. Try with ofParameter< glm::vec2 >. It should work.

we should support this still anyway, can you open an issue on github?
