How to cite PD in an academic paper?
by B. Bogart 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hey all, Is there a specific way to cite Pure-Data in an academic paper? R outputs a bibtex entry when you call cite(). Is there some standard for PD? OT: How is software generally cited? Thanks, .b.

visca camera control in pd?
by chris clepper 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

PDPeople, I'm looking at the specs for a Sony PTZ cam which uses Sony's ViSCA protocol. The manual gives the commands for communicating with the cam, but I'm not sure if it would work with an existing Pd external or not. The control machine will be running OSX so a USB-RS232 adapter would figure into the equation. I know very little about serial port programming and need a little help determining if the cam is an option or not. Cam manual (pp 19-37): http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/docs/manuals/evihd1_tm.pdf There is also an open source libVISCA for dealing with this, but I would rather make abstractions around existing externals than code up a new one. Thanks Chris

Re: [PD] pdpedia spam

I just discovered the "protect" tab, it allows you to restrict editing per-page. Since the spam so far has only been on a few pages, I tried turning on the "protect" mode to see if that is a manageable solution. .hc On Jan 24, 2008, at 8:56 AM, marius schebella wrote: > hans, > no offense, but we agreed on this already a very long time ago. > nevertheless you still decided to go with an open version, now it > got spammed. not so many people are making changes at the moment, > so please turn anonymous editing off. at least for the standard > wiki pages that get the spam. > marius. > > Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: >> hey, >> (pdpedia is back and should be stable again) I just checked out >> Pdpedia, it's getting quite a bit of spam. >> Shall we close anonymous edits?

bringing the GEM fullscreen window to front in Windows: issue (a second gem window appears)
by matteo sisti sette 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I am working on a performance in which one of the visual projections (i.e. one of the computers) works like this: The performance has several "scenes" or "parts"; in some of the parts the graphics are made in Flash and run in a standalone Flash Players; in other parts they are made in GEM; both run on the same computer and are shown in the same projection: in any given part you see either GEM or Flash graphics. In order to gracefully switch between the two platforms, we do like this: Both the Flash Player and GEM run at fullscreen. When one of them is "active", i.e. doing interesting things, the other one is "idle" that is is displaying a black screen. A third application, which I will call the "switcher", which I didn't write, uses Windows' API to bring to front in each scene the application that needs to be seen: either GEM of Flash. Everything works fine and we've performed live more than once without problems. But there is an annoying issue, especially in rehearsals, that i'd like to know if I can work around. When we end a rehearsal and want to start over again we do like this: I close the GEM window by sending a [destroy( message to [gemwin] I close the "switcher" application. I close the flash player I restart the flash player I recreate the GEM window by sending a [create( message to [gemwin] I start the "switcher" application. Now the problem is that, as soon as the switcher tries to bring GEM to front, a second GEM "window" appear, so I get two gem windows none of which is rendering. There's no way to close them both, as a [destroy( message will only destroy one of them, and any further [destroy( message won't destroy the second gem window. The only way to restore normal functioning is to quit and restart PD. I don't know if this is relevant, but there is another instance of PD running in the same machine: this one DOESN'T load GEM and runs in -nogui mode in a "msdos" window (it runs a simple patch that receives udp packets and convert them in midi messages sent to a midiyoke port and viceversa). Thought I am not sure, I got the impression that just restarting the PD/GEM is not sufficient to avoid the problem: it seems that I have to restart both PD instances, even the one that does not even load gem (let alone create a gemwin). Is it possible? Now, I am a C++ analphabet (almost), but I'll try to give as much information as I can about the way the "switcher" works. It uses the method: HWND hAppHwnd = ::FindWindow(NULL, _T("GEM")); and then: ::SetWindowPos(hAppHwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE); The person who wrote the switcher assured me that the two calls are done each time GEM needs to be brought to front, i.e. it DOESN'T create the hAppHwnd handler at the beginning and then reuse the same handler each time: it gets the handler from scratch each time. Note: the switcher NEVER closes nor tries to close the GEM window: I always destroy and create it with [create( and [destroy( messages to [gemwin] Also, I run the "switcher" after creating the gem window and close it before destroying the GEM window, so he is never trying to bring to front the GEM window when it doesn't exist. ............... any clue? Or if not, what circumstances in general may cause a second spurious gem window to be created? Thanks in advance m. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com

Problem in os x 10.5.1?
by David Plans Casal 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hey Has anyone noticed yet that trying to build CVS version on 10.5.1 and running gives: 18/01/2008 11:23:23 [0x0-0x96096].org.puredata[17406] The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec(). 18/01/2008 11:23:23 [0x0-0x96096].org.puredata[17406] Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ () to debug. Then pd crashes after about 5 minutes. Actually, pd-extended seems to crash also, as well as Miller releases (stable and test). Anyone else? David
