JoyOverlay

A widget for a highly-configurable joystick monitoring overylay, intended for livestreaming purposes.

Configuration

The name of the config file will follow the name of the executable, and if no match is found, a new ini file will be spawned with a set of defaults

Overall Configuration

[configaxes]
	; Search phrase, uses lazy matching 
	search=
	; in case of multiple device results such as multi vjoy (not yet implemented)
	next = 0
	windowWidth = 200
	windowHeight = 200
	axisweight=2
	pipweight=3
	backgroundcolor= 0x003300
	axiscolor= 0xFFFFFF
	pipcolor= 0xFFFFFF

search uses AHK's built-in InStr() lazy-match function, and if left blank, will match on the first available DirectInput Joystick Device

(to-do: handle multiple match with the next parameter)

windowWidth and windowHeight are given in pixel size (to-do: handle non-100% DPI scaling)

axisweight and pipweight are given in pixel size

colors are given in 6-character Hex code, with 0x prefix

Pip Configuration

The number of active pips is unconstrained. All ini sections after the first ([configaxes]) will be read as pip definitions. Use enable to turn on/off pip sections without needing to delete. Due to trig problems (to-do: get better at that) the palette of Radial pips is limited to a subset of the Cartesian pips

	; Add sections for more Pips as desired, follow existing structure for Cartesian (standard) and Radial Pips
	; (config input validation not yet implemented)
	
	; Available Styles of Pip (cursor)
	; radial only supports ones marked in (r)
	; + (r)
	; x (r)
	; T
	; A (r)
	; V (r)
	; |
	; -
	; [] 
	; <> (r)
	; [o] (corners and dot in center)
	
	; Axis uses: X Y Z Rx Ry Rz S0 S1
	; Axis specials, use Min, Mid, or Max to lock pip to edge/center
