Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matteo Sisti Sette (sistisette) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: documentation error in cos~-help.pd

Initial Comment: (This is a DOCUMENTATION bug, not a bug of the program, but I can't find such a category here)

The description of the cos~ object in its help patch says:

"The cos~ object outputs the cosine of its signal input"

while it should read:

"The cos~ object outputs the cosine of 2*pi times its signal input"

I attach the updated cos~-help.pd file

Note that the "cos" (without ~) object does NOT believe the same way, since it does output the cosine of the input in radians. This situation is not ideal, but correcting it would be a disaster for the portability of pathces. However, it must be documented.

the doc is fixed for 0.41 ... the fact that cos~ acts differently from cos is ugly but it's hard to see what else to name "cos~"...
