i take it you are using osx? pix_write will write each frame to disk as a photo-jpeg file. i suggest making a folder to write the files into as pd/bin is the default. you can make the files into a qt .mov by opening the first file in the series in qtplayer.app and then saving it as a .mov (this might require qtpro). one caveat for pix_write exists right now: the recorded images will be upside down! i decided not to add a function to flip the image before writing because it slowed down the process too much. the reason the image is flipped has to do with OpenGL and Quicktime disagreeing about the image origin. GL starts drawing in the bottom left, QT/QD starts on the top left. i have mentioned this to Apple, but they have not issued a work-around yet.

Quoting av sc@civilrevoltage.com:
hi list,
how can i record the graphics from gem to a file (quicktime), is it possible in pd, or maybe a desktop grab utility?
also, i wonder if there's any docu on gem delaing with the arguments of all the objects/externals. i have a big list with all of them, and their function, but not the arguments. (in max you just point to an inlet and its at the bottom of the window, in supercollider its command-j and you see the class source, for pd i dont know). and did anyone use gridflow for osx already? experiences?
thanks as always,
adrian
