SingleChannel & Minimal about ff_meters HOT 3 CLOSED

I hacked a bit at it to get it the way I needed. I'm ok for now, thanks.

That is an interesting use case.
How it was meant to work is by inheriting the LookAndFeel but overriding the getMeterMaxNumberBounds() and getMeterTickmarksBounds() to return empty rectangles.
In hindsight I find the approach a bit bloated, but it should allow layouting the elements in a flexible way.
The hope is, that the drawMeterBars() will react appropriate. If not, you will have to override those as well:
getMeterClipIndicatorBounds() and getMeterBarBounds(). They get as input a strip of the bounds as calculated by getMeterBounds().

Allowing Minimal to return that version would be a good option, although it would create an ambiguity for stereo.

Thanks, I did something similar to your proposal, which turned out to be quite easy and flexible enough. I now just use the SingleChannel mask and with my derived LNF class, which only covers the one usecase :)

If you're interested in the context of use:
I work at an audio software company. We mainly create audio processing libraries to be integrated in AVRs, cars, mobile, .. To test/tune/experiment/demo these algorithms we integrate them into vst fx plugins, which also makes it relatively easy to use for non technical ppl, on their preferred platform/host.
The animated meters enhance the impression that at least it's doing something :D
