My username is, well, "chunlee". Besides, if I make updates of these patches, I can just put them up straight away. I have tried email you my username this morning, but not sure if it went through. Let me know Peace CHUN

hex color values
by G_ M 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

hi list, I'm trying to implement a color picker in one of my PD/GEM patches via TCL/tk (-lib Toxy). But as you can see in the example patch (attached) I need to convert the hex color values to RGB values. Now I was wondering if there is any object in some external which would do the job (conversion)?! Any hint would be more than welcome. best regards gm #N canvas 410 610 234 187 12; #X msg 21 43 query tk_chooseColor; #X obj 21 70 tot .; #X symbolatom 21 100 10 0 0 0 - - -; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 1 0 2 0; _________________________________________________________________ UngestÃ¶rt surfen.

running plot of sampled data
by Matthias Blau 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

Hi, I am trying to continuously plot a sequence of data (from snapshot~), in order to get a running visualization of sound levels. Sampling should occur every 10..100ms and I want to see about 1000 past data points. My first guess was to use an array of that size and to write data to it via tabwrite, indexed by modulo_counter. Unfortunately, the frequency at which the plot of the array is updated, is way too low (every one second or so). Is there a a way of changing that frequency? If not, are there better alternatives? Thanks for your help, Matthias

Re: [PD] problems with installing GEM
by op＠sit10.net 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

got TextEdit.app to write '.pdrc' file wit the instructions: >-path /usr/local/lib/pd/extra >-lib Gem placed it in Users/Home/ directory and open PD afterwards, I got: reading startup file: /Users/tiagoborgesdasilva/.pdrc GEM: Graphics Environment for Multimedia GEM: ver: 0.888-pre1 GEM: compiled: Jan 28 2004 GEM: maintained by IOhannes m zmoelnig GEM: Authors : Mark Danks (original version on irix/windows) GEM: Chris Clepper (macOS-X) GEM: Daniel Heckenberg (windows) GEM: James Tittle (macOS-X) GEM: IOhannes m zmoelnig (linux/windows) and after opening PD files requiring Gem to work, things worked out greatly!!! thank you so much slimfatboyslim!!!!! :) now, another question, is there a place where i could find out more about connecting sensors to pd through usb/serial port? is there a recommendation regarding this? like electronic advice, types of connectors to be used and how to get PD talking to external microchips and other devices? thanks galore!!!!

bitcrusher : debugging
by chun lee 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

Hi Patrick: I have plugged the RRADicaled version of your abstraction by Frank into my patch and I got no gui freezes (its been running for the last couple of hours). Thought you might like to know:) This is in PD 0.37.1 Fedora Core 2 Cheers CHUN > >Anyway, in a large generative patch I have about >twenty of these which are triggered more or less >randomly. Pd plays the audio fine, displays _no_ error >messages, and the cpuload doesn't go over maybe 25% >which is normal on my machine (PD installer 0.37.1, G3 >600mhz), but i get weird gui freezes. I spent last >night debugging the patch and narrowed the problem >down to this abstraction. > >Could someone maybe plug it in and/or tell me why >using multiples of it would make pd act so strange? > >thanks in advance, > >patrick

**************************** ...when I right-click on a new canvas window the only options that come up in my context menu are "Properties", "Open" (greyed-out), and "Help" >try "Help" **************************** actually, when I open a brand new window and right-click to get my context menu, clicking "Help" does nothing at all (not even any sort of message in the PD main window (DOS)) I guess from reading the tutorial, it sounded like the right-click menu would contain a list of standard objects that I could "put", in much the same way that Max/MSP does - is this not the case, or am I doing something wrong / missing something? is there a resource out there listing all of the objects available in the standard PD distribution, if I'm going to have to manually type in the name of an object everytime I "put" it? < - - - - - - (Original post) - - - - - - > I am a new PD user, v0.37.3 on Windows XP... I've been taking a look at Michal Seta's 2001 PD Tutorial @ http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdTutorialOverview, and I've run into an obstacle - the text of the tutorial reads: "Right-clicking on the canvas opens a new window with an overview of objects available in the standard pd distribution. This list is divided into several sections such as audio objects, midi, control, glue, math etc." ...just like MAX, right? well, when I right-click on a new canvas window the only options that come up in my context menu are "Properties", "Open" (greyed-out), and "Help" where are my objects? any assistance out there? thanks!! < - - - - - - (Original post) - - - - - - >
