Hi everyone. I need to draw arrays with different levels of complexity and precision rapidly in PD mainly for control purposes. I imagine something like Adobe Illustrator's vector functions with capabilities of exporting the result as an array of numbers which could be easily imported in PD. It's too much, isn't it? Any ideas?
For the moment I'm working with a sort of "polynomial interpolating algorithm". It works, but it's not good for smooth curves and the text based input is neither rapid to create the array nor to modify some part of it.
Since it would be quite useful for me, I am willing to make by myself if it doesn't exists (and to share it if someone is interested, of course), but I'll need advices of what programming language fits best for that. Keep in mind that I work under OS X 10.5.5. Any clue?
Thank you Cheers

Is this utility I've made some weeks ago useful for you? (needs pd-ext)

Thank you João. This utility is quite useful for editing arrays appearance, but your "drawing segments" function is similar to mine, and I'm looking for some hybrid text-GUI editor. Am I clear or just crazy?
Thanks anyway Ignacio
I just didn't understand what you mean exactly with the "gui/text editor",
or how it's going to be used. is it going to be controlled by gui, by
text, or both? can you give examples?
one inconvenient of the draw function is that it only works if the whole
array is drawn. partial editing isn't yet there.
