Hi IOhannes, Hi list!
seems like you forgot the list, i added it now...
I'm making a patch for live video data manipulation with pix_video --> pix_resize --> pix_dump
if you have plenty of cpu left, you could go for Gem's [pix_dump], which dumps the entire image as a list into "pd-space". then you can do whatever you want with it (e.g. use iemmatrix to calculate what you need). another solution with Gem might be to use [pix_resize] with a width of 1 and then [pix_dump] the image "column".I want to use this video data to control audio synthesis parameters, but first I need to management the list from pix_dump outlet. What's the best way to manipulate this data? I discard iemmatrix because I haven't found it compiled for windows (and I have no idea about compiling externals). I have tried to store this list into a table but I had no result. Maybe I could use list objects to management video data.
well yes! once the data is in pd-space (as list) you can use whatever you want to manipulate it. i don't think there is a general "best way" to do it. with recent versions of pd, using [list] is definitely a good choice (doesn't require any externals) how have you tried to dump the data into a table and why did it not work? (in older pd's i would have used zexy's [tabset] instead of manually unrolling the list and writing the data with [tabwrite]; you canalso do this with plain pd)
as for iemmatrix, isn't it part of pd-extended? i will put a binary online today....
