Re: [PD] zexy questions (matrix stuff) & other

Hi list,

hi

General question: A number of gurus have mentioned using the -verbose option to keep track of what goes wrong. How do I put this in the .bat file used to start pd?

by adding the "-verbose" literal after the pd-command. it should look somehow like "C:\pd\bin\pd.exe -verbose -path /super/dooper/ -lib zexy " (me, blushing about zexy)

Next, I'm getting to know the zexy matrix functions and I have a couple of questions:

1. I can't seem to extract the value of just one element in a matrix other than using a static message eg. [element 4 3( . How can I just get one element dynamically?

by using dynamic messages as is shown in doc/2.control.examples/14.dollarsigns.pd

basically it is like

| [pack] | | [element $1 $2( | [mtx] |

2. Is there a limit to the dimensions of a matrix?

none that i know of, the only limitation should be your computer's RAM (and note that pd is rather inefficient in terms of memory)
