Hey again,
I'm doing some experiments on artoolkit in different host software. After not getting pix_artoolkit compiling until know (anybody out there with a running setup?) I wanted to try a freeframe plugin that handles tracking. Originally it's written for vvvv: http://vvvv.org/tiki-index.php?page=FreeFrameARTK%2BTracker.
In vvvv it's working quite well, but preferring open source software I'd like to have it working in pd too. Creating pix_freeframe with that plugin is working (at least it shows some information about the argument inlets in debug output), but it has only one single outlet (in vvvv it has additional outlets, which output the tracking data). So my question here: is that plugin incompatible with pix_freeframe or will it use that single output for everything? Because of an other Problem I got into (other Topic), I can't test it by looking at the output yet, there's only gemlist.
From what I read about pix_freeframe it only has one outlet - but perhaps it would be possible to modify pix_freeframe? Or take code from it for another external (I know, that's easy to say but lots of work, I'll try it on my own after learning some more c++ stuff)
Sorry for writing too much...

as far as i understand, the FreeFrame-specs do not deal with analysis-plugins (that is: generating high-level informations from video-frames). vvvv's ARTK-plugin uses an unpublished(?) non-official extension to the FreeFrame-API for retrieving analysis-data.
since Gem has (currently) only implemented the FreeFrame-1.0 _standard_, it does not support these things (yet).
i will eventually ask on the FF-list, how these things should be dealt with.
