Scripts/Viewmat Spy

Viewmat Spy shows the mouse position, and current RGB color with its components.

The snippet is run once anywhere any time to dynamically patch viewmat.

require 'viewmat'

jvm_g_mmove_jviewmat_=: 3 : 0
  'X Y W H'=. 4{.0 ".sysdata
  Y=. <:H-Y
  p=. |.&.((3#256)&#:){.glqpixels X,Y,1 1
  wd 'pn *',TITLE,' ',":X,Y,p,(3#256)#:p
)

For example, from Plot:

steps=: {. + (1&{ - {.) * (i.@>: % ])@{:
gamma=: ! @ <:
real=: {. @ +.
x=. steps _3.5 4.5 60
y=. steps _1 1 60
z=. real gamma x j./ y
viewmat 'Gamma';~_3 >. 12 <. z

Thank you for the code, but with simple data I can see the mouse xy position isn't reported correctly -- move over the mouse pointer around the white box with the following example:

viewmat  1 (<4 4)} 10 10 $0

The xy position is vertically flipped. The flipping line(Y=. <:H-Y) should be ignored. The code should be:

jvm_g_mmove_jviewmat_=: 3 : 0
  'X Y W H'=. 4{.0 ".sysdata
  NB. Y=. <:H-Y
  p=. |.&.((3#256)&#:){.glqpixels X,Y,1 1
  wd 'pn *',TITLE,' ',":X,Y,p,(3#256)#:p
)

If you want to get the current location(row,col) and raw value on the data matrix:

require 'viewmat'

jvm_g_mmove_jviewmat_=: 3 : 0
  'X Y W H'=. 4{.0 ".sysdata
  uhw=.(H,W) % $MAT
  croco=.<.(Y,X)%uhw
  cval=.(<croco){tomatrix DAT
  wd 'pn *',TITLE,' ',":croco,cval
)
