Font weirdness with 0.43test
by Frank Barknecht 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi, attached screenshot shows a comparison of the font, I use with Pd on Debian Squeeze: FreeMono. I start Pd with "-font-face FreeMono", no size or weight options. My patches usually use size 10 as default, this also is used on the screenshot. It seems that 0.43 scales the font to be one step too small. 0.42 has about the same size as the GVim I also show as comparison. Is this expected behaviour or amy I doing something wrong? I can fix the size difference by adding "-font-size 12" to the startup options or probably by some tcl hacking, but actually I was hoping, that the GUI reqrite would finally allow me to avoid using startup options for basic GUI configuration and behave more like normal software.

dislocated cursor on comments
by Eduardo Patricio 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi all, I don't know if it's a known bug or not. But I found that if I use accents like '^' in my comments and I want to make some later corrections (deleting a letter, typing more etc.)the cursor appears dislocated. I'm running Pd-0.42.5-extended-rc4-macosx104-i386 on OSX 10.6.5. Am I missing anything? thanks!

GEM Shear / angle relationship

Hi list, Can anyone tell me how to calculate the 'shear' value (when using [shearYX] in Gem) from an angle (degrees or radians, I don't mind)? X Ed Metastudio 3 for Pure Data - Free download at: http://sharktracks.co.uk/puredata

live pd patch mixed with Gem or pdp?
by John Harrison 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

I'd like to take a patch from a pd window and mix it live with a Gem or pdp window. pdp_capture would have been the ticket, but I can't get it to compile and looking at the archives of this list, it doesn't seem like others have had luck with it either. Any other ideas for me? -- John

object to get pdversion/tclversion/basedir
by Jonathan Wilkes 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Is there an object to get the pdversion? If so it would be nice to replace the "Help->About Pd" textfile with a pd patch so the links could be clickable. (Also, it would then be possible to do some rolling credits, as often happens in an "About this Software" window.) -Jonathan

changing graph size prevents associated arrays from being properly redrawn
by Matthias Blau 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi list, I am about to update PureMeasurement and have just run into the following problem (see the attached patch pm_fftanalyzer_2ch.pd): The patch itself works for me. However, if I just change the size of the graphs associated with $0-testsignal or $0-magnitude, then those arrays will get redrawn from time to time, but not in a reliable manner any more. For instance, changing the magnitude display to S11 or S22 (and perhaps back to FRF:2re1) will eventually freeze the graph. Could anyone explain this behavior? Is the only solution to leave it as it is and not to touch it? If that matters, it happens on 0.42.5-extended-rc5 under Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks for your help, Matthias

Window placement weirdness with 0.43test2
by Frank Barknecht 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, now this weirdness is very weird: My window manager (openbox 3.4.11.1-1) places the windows of 0.43test2 in a completely different way than with previous versions of Pd, and unfortunatly in a vey unusable way. Plain "File->New" windows or [pd]-subpatch canvas windows are placed with the upper left screen corner at about (0,10) pixels into a patch's canvas, so that the full menu and a row of about 10 pixels of the patching area are outside the screen. This of course is very annoying. But the other favourite new window position of 0.43 is even more annoying: Sometimes, files or subpatches get opened with the top-left corner at screen-position 1280x650, which on my 1366x768 screen size makes most of the patch lie outside the screen. Windows of prior versions like 0.42 or of other apps like Gimp get placed properly. Ciao -- Frank

numberbox with empty label x-offset value
by Peter Plessas 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Dear list, something funny happens in Pd when the x-offset value of the "label" in the properties dialog of a numberbox [nbx] is not set at all. Xorg eats all CPU for a while and creates a strange-looking object that can't be erased. This should be reproduceable in most Pd versions, not sure about operating systems though. best, P
