array to text file
by potax flan 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

im sure this is fairly obvious but i never tried to do this before and im a bit lost: how can i save the contents of an array to a text file, so that i can use them again later? i rather load txt files in a table than have several tables because im assuming that will be less cpu intensive. ami right? p

Re: [PD] problems with pix_record?
by Antti Poikola (TML) 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hello, The pix_record object doesn't seem to work properly. It doesn't record anything and when I send the "codeclist" message to the object I get: recordQT : 23 codecs installed recordQT : pjpeg codec 23 1785750887 65816 ctype [pix_record]: codec0: '(null)': (null) [pix_record]: codec1: '(null)': (null) [pix_record]: codec2: '(null)': (null) ... the list continues up to codec22. My system is: Windows XP Pd version 0.39.3-extended GEM: ver: 0.91-cvs I checked with a codec reporting utility (SHERLOCK - The Codec Detective) that I have several video codecs installed ranging from AVI to DivX, MPEG-4, QT and many others. Punchic described earlier the same problem http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-05/050307.html Is there some known issue in the pix_record object in the windows version and some solution? Roman Haefeli suggested to: >a) try different gem binaries from pd-extended for your operating >system. maybe there is one that works. > >b) check out gem sources from cvs and compile it yourself. therefor you >need to have the appropriate libs installed (quicktime and friends) > >c) use [pix_write] instead of [pix_record] and create a sequence of >images. then use a dedicated tool (like 'mplayer') to create a movie >file from the image sequence. For me these solution sound a bit "random". At least it would be nice to know which gem version has the functioning pix_record or if the problem is somewhere else. Thanks, -Jogi

PDLua: asserting
by Mike McGonagle 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hello Claude, I was wondering if there was something else that 'assert' could do, rather than just sending the message to the console. I am not really sure exactly WHAT it should do, but I think that in building a gui that error messages, such as the lua assert method, that it might be better to have those messages displayable in the gui itself. Any ideas? Mike -- Peace may sound simple—one beautiful word— but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal. —Yehudi Menuhin (1916–1999), musician

Grokking [declare]
by Mike McGonagle 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hello all, I have been following the development of [declare], but sadly every time I have tried to use it, it doesn't appear to work as the help file says it should. I have tried it several different ways: 1. [declare -stdpath extra/zexy] 2. [prime] <-- from zexy the [prime] object doesn't get created... version 2: 1. [declare -stdpath zexy] 2. [prime] still no joy... I also tried the same thing, only using -stdlib, but that doesn't seem to load anything either. Next I tried to do something relative to a project folder in my home directory. Inside there, I created a subfolder named 'more' (as in the help file), and in that I have a file 'abstract.pd'. I made a patch in the root of the project, and used this 1. [declare -path more] 2. [abstract] the [abstract] object doesn't get created. I am running Mac OS 10.4.11, running on PPC hardware. I used the latest version of PD Extended (the 0.40.3-extended-20080603). I also tried these same things with Vanilla PD 41.4, and got the same results. Is there some test patch out there that I could use to test these things?

Drawing Pd objects in SVG
by Andre Schmidt 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hello Pd-World, just realised that it's pretty easy to draw Pd objects with any amount of in/outlets in SVG by just using 2 rectangles. C o.O l! the key SVG properties are "stroke-dasharray" and "stroke-dashoffset" http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeProperties a picture tells thousand words -> pd-object-in-svg.png as i don't need this (at least not ATM) i didn't bother with the maths, so this picture is the only thing i can offer, for now... yet another tinkerer Andre Schmidt P.S. if there's interest, it would probably be useful to get in contact with http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2000Oct/0032.html (as that's the only reference i could find about the following) to at least get a real proposal for "stroke-align" to W3C way. with stroke-align we could easily position the in/outlets _inside_ the box, and not just on the center of vector...

Re: [PD] Grokking [declare]

Hello, I can't remember for sure but I think [declare] might only work when the patch is loaded. Try the same things you did earlier, but save the patch and reopen it before you add the desired object/abstraction. Someone please correct me if this is wrong.

Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc1 and py external
by altern 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

hi I am testing a patch that uses py external on windows XP with both pd extended 0.39.3 and 0.40.3 rc1. Because I have python 2.5 installed on my machine and the external is compiled against 2.4 I include in the same folder as the patch the python24.dll and also python's libs, Lib, include and DLLs folders from the python 2.4 distribution. This works fine with PD 0.39, the py external loads ok and my scripts run fine. But same patch in same machine opened with 0.40.3 rc1 does not work. PD says it cannot find python24.dll. I guess it is not looking for it in the folder where the patch is. Are there changes in search path from version 0.39 to 0.40? Do i need to add it manually or something like that? thanks enrike
