AS crappy as this is, i have attempted to write a ftable editor using only
FLTK widgets!

The aptly named FLjoy proved to be about the best fit for the job in the
end.

unfortunately FLsetVal doesn't seem to work for sliders that have inverted
min / max values... 

in this example illustrative csd attached, the x axis is pitch, & the y axis
is keyscaled db values

The left mouse button in the FLjoy target zone plays back the appropriate
index at the appropriate dB

the right mouse button allows for rewriting of the current target ftable
index.

So with the right mouse button held down you can quickly, easily, (albeit
roughly) fashion some sort of whimsical ftable shape - 

i mainly designed this with parameter mapping in mind, rather than drawing
oscillator shapes - & as such, it's also meant to be an editing rather than
performance interface element (i'll be unleashing them en masse in my
planned "ambient supersyn"

selecting Index Lock allows for fine tuning of the currently selected index
(by depressing the right mouse button) without the worry of accidently
slipping over into a neighbouring bin

The value is displayed in the text box, & also in the slider to the right of
the joystick space.

Don't alter the text boxes, they are for display purposes only

I look forward to suggestions for improvements - or even better
demonstrations of improvements - or even better yet the WXPython realtime
ftable editor that someone else is now going to go away & write, wherein the
tables fields are all displayed & responsive to changes within the mouse
editing space itself! 

& to think it only took me about 16 hours! (he said sarcastically, thinking
it might take 3 or 4 at the most...)

Thanks - i'm thinking if the focus range was adjustible, & a few either minor
close editing tools, it could even become like a generic cc editor.... 

it's not so much about editing graphically - you can always export it to do
that.

its also that you can hear the full parametric variation at once (more or
less) by just sweeping the range. edit by ear, & then apply visual focus
where necessary...

you can "sort of see it then" anyway in the slider at right (in a flick book
representation...)

i'll check out your wxcode though, definately...
