Added Files: Developer-Reference.txt GOP_layout.txt Log Message: Initial Commit of pixelTANGO 0.3.4

--- NEW FILE: Developer-Reference.txt --- pixelTANGO Developer Reference: CVS: $Revision: 1.1 $ $Date: 2005/11/26 22:21:06 $

Required Externals: entry, Gem, OSC, pool, popup, prepend, pwd, tosymbol, tot, zexy, py

Memento Note: (Put this in the pt.abstraction how-to) DO NOT USE a $0-in send or receive in any pt compatible abstraction. This s/r is reserved for memento functions.

Creating .app using tcl/tk 8.4.9 standalone: 1. Duplicate Miller's pd.app 2. replace frameworks with those from tcl/tk standalone 3. copy the "Wish Shell.rsrc" file as "Pd.rsrc" to Resources 4. Copy the "Wish Shell" exec from tcl/tk standalone/MacOS to MacOS as "Pd" 5. Add set tk::mac::CGAntialiasLimit 0 in pd.tk (aka AppMain.tcl) OPTIONAL for Antialiasing 6. cd Resource/src then ./configure && make OPTIONAL perhaps for s_inter.c hack

HACKS: (bad programming that is there just to make things work and need to be replaced by a better system!)

delay 250 in register-head.pd is used to make sure that all abstractions have gotten the layerNum before sending the "register-head 0" message.

Internal (Helper) Abstractions:

Global Receives:

Receive Name: Value: Notes: pt.loopBack layerNum [list] This receive is used to send data from a lower abstraction to an upper through bus. Only when the head matches is it sent. pt.layerNumDone layerNum When all abstractions in a layer get the layerNum, through control-bus, send this signal back to header to start abstraction registration by sending signal "register-head 0" through control-bus. pt.registerDone layerNum When the register-tail gets the register signal then send the layer number of the done layer and use this signal to generate the OSC names. pt.currentPreset float Set the current preset Value pt.videoPlaneSize 2 float list Sends the current gemwindow size to pt.video for filling screen pt.windowResolution 2 float list Sends the current gemwindow resolution to pt.feedback for good responce pt.osc osc message All modules not in layers get OSC messages from this receive. pt.updateArrays bang Updates dir2abstractionArray arrays
