I would like to get the health kit screen to pop up from a button press, however screen only comes up the first time through the app. Here is the Wenderlick tutorial, swift but still ideas. After the app has asked once, no more screen.

I will aad a gallery picker above the image, perhaps frame the image. I may need to put the entire page into a table, the parameters table could get long.

also may need a label on the meal item title entry pane

working 'Todays Menu'

left work at click of 'add menu item' on Y4NutritionViewController - parameter table does disappear, however menu item count is still 0 {-???-} so menu item does not appear. Initializing at least once, otherwhere nil'd.

• find out where proposed-todays-menu-table-view is setHidden:YES/NO
• fix cell annotation, MenuTableView, cellForRowAtIndex
• fix authorization/annotation on entry to Y4NutritionViewController for total-Go path (approve all)
• too much?
  [Y4NutritionViewController addMenuItemOnToday:]
[Y4NutritionViewController focusGallery]
[Y4NutritionViewController orientUI]
[Y4NutritionViewController resizeParameterFrame]
[Y4NutritionViewController parameterViewHeight]

  at this point
  { CGRect totalFrame = self.view.frame;
float paramLineHgt = 28.0 / totalFrame.size.height;
// float paramLineHgt = 30;
// NSLog(@"nutritionCollectionView.parameterViewHeight: nutrComp count: %ld",[focusUSDAparameterArray count]);
float suggestedParamHeight = paramLineHgt * [focusUSDAparameterArray count]; // = 42;
if (0.28 < suggestedParamHeight) {
suggestedParamHeight = 0.28;
}
// float parameterViewHeight = totalFrame.size.height * 0.30;
float parameterViewHeight = totalFrame.size.height * suggestedParamHeight;
// NSLog(@"nutritionCollectionView.parameterViewHeight: parameterViewHeight: %3.2f", parameterViewHeight);

Today's page, covers all my Metal issues

July 7, 2016

Effort overall is to have multiple 'pyramid' shapes (similar to MetalDiamonds) on the screen, instead of cows on terrain, or 'Instanced Drawing'.

I have adapted the structure of Instanced Drawing, and have so far tried drawing on that renderEncoder, no real success. Get the renderEncoder via

renderEncoder = commandBuffer.renderCommandEncoderWithDescri[tor(renderPassDescriptor)

MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor

The MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor object specifies the rendering configuration state used during a graphics rendering pass, including rasterization (such as multisampling), visibility, blending, and graphics shader function state. Use standard allocation and initialization techniques to create a MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor object. A MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor object is later used to create a MTLRenderPipelineState object.

To specify the vertex or fragment shader function in the rendering pipeline descriptor, set the vertexFunction or fragmentFunction property, respectively, to the desired MTLFunction object.

Setting the fragmentFunction property to nil disables the rasterization of pixels into the color attachment. This action is typically used for outputting vertex shader data into a buffer object or for depth-only rendering.

If the vertex shader has an argument with per-vertex input attributes, set the vertexDescriptor property to a MTLVertexDescriptor object that describes the organization of that vertex data.

MTLVertexDescriptor

A MTLVertexDescriptor object is used to configure how vertex data stored in memory is mapped to attributes in a vertex shader. A pipeline state is the state of the graphics rendering pipeline, including shaders, blending, multisampling, and visibility testing. For every pipeline state, there can be only one MTLVertexDescriptor object. When you configure a MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor object to create this pipeline state, you use a MTLVertexDescriptor object to establish the vertex layout for the function associated with the pipeline. Create and configure a MTLVertexDescriptor object, then use this object to set the vertexDescriptor property of the MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor object.

MTLRenderPassDescriptor

A MTLRenderPassDescriptor object contains a collection of attachments that are the rendering destination for pixels generated by a rendering pass. The MTLRenderPassDescriptor class is also used to set the destination buffer for visibility information generated by a rendering pass.

Score: 106 Just self.collectionView.delegate = self;. Note that UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout inherits from UICollectionViewDelegate. I admit it can catch you off guard at first. Oh and this will only work if self.collectionView.collectionViewLayout is actually set to your flow layout. (or set with initWithFrame:collectionViewLayout:)
