Hi all,
can anyone give me pointers on how the overview cache for a zoomable
waveform display is organized?
One can see accurate and fast displays in a lot of applications but i guess
the rendering of this is not straightforward.
best greetings,

You just store the peak amplitudes (+ve and -ve sepratly) for every N
samples.
I think typically you have two seperate peak files, eg. one for every 2^8
samples and one for every 2^16.
The eqivalent in large images uses one "peakfile" for every power of two,
but audio people seem to be more conservative - for one thing scaling
audio is much cheaper.
You could look at sweep, snd, ardour, audacity etc. to see how it is done.

I am thinking about this at the moment as well. My idea is to :
1.) start with N frames (e.g. 65536), segment the whole sample into N blocks and
store min and max values for each frame. Just make sure that the initial frames
are still big enough, so that the cache gives the advantage of reading less data.
2.) repeat 1 several times and double the frame size each time (thus half the
number of frames), you can easily build min/max values here from former data.
3.) Depending on the width of the window and the displayed range, seek in the
cache to the right position.
4.) when scrolling/zooming, keep the file opened !
