Hello everybody!
I have been looking for some existng gui i can adapt in order to create a simple user interface for my purposes.
I wonder if Pure Data would be able to meet my requirements.
All i need is the following:
- Place different (predefined) objects with (predefined numbers of) inputs &
outputs
- Connect the in and outputs together.
- Set a set of options for the objects (the number and caption of the
options depends on the chosen obejct)
- And of course Save the whole thing for later post-processing.
Can anybody tell me if PD would be a valid choice, please? However I was unable to find any alternative...
i do not see any problems when using pd for your purposes. you can control object creation/deletion/... via messages (see http://puredata.info/community/pdwiki/PdInternalMessages for details). "options" are usually just messages to objects changing their internal state (or creation arguments if you know the "options" at creation time)
apart from that, i wonder why people would call that an "abuse" of pd.
