Hello all,
So I have around 8 generative patches/static compositions that I want to present as an installation. Less conceptual, more demonstrative of Pd. So about every 2 minutes I want a fullscreen window of one patch to close and the next patch to open fullscreen so that people can see the inner workings (I plan to do visuals through GEM and a projector). When I say fullscreen I mean fullscreen of the laptop, with the GEM visuals proceeding as usual. I understand how to accomplish the switching of the audio, but to get the patches themselves to take focus I'm afraid I'll need to write a script in Tcl/tkl, which I have no experience in. Does anyone have suggestions, or code from a similar presentation they could share?
Thanks, Tyler
If your patch is named foo.pd, send a "vis 1" message to it to give the window the focus, like this:
[vis 1( | [pd-foo.pd]
Automation is tricky. In pd-extended or vanilla it will crash pd if you try to get a patch to close itself.
Ivica made a fix for that in pd-l2ork-- which should work if you're only opening/closing every 2
minutes-- but I'm not sure if it's still crash-proof.

Not at pd right now, but can you get around that using an independent control patch that opens and closes patches?

And wrap the whole patch with a [switch~] so you can turn off DSP when it is "minimised" and turn on ones that are in focus.

There's one in doc/manuals/0.intro/+pager.pd. But notice that is doesn't try to
close any of the patches.

Perfect. Thank you guys. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure this is exactly what I need, as closing the actual patch is irrelevant as long as I can get one to grab focus.

or use iemgut's [canvasdelete] (which will only delete the patch specified, rather than all "foo.pd"s.

Here's how I did it, I have a web interface that controls which of the patches is running:
.hc

That's very elegant!
I did a little test last night and [;pd-subpatch vis 0< works for me. Just don't run the metro so fast you can't grab focus in the control window *and* turn it off:)

Sounds like a winner to me. At one point I had things working with no audio dropouts but then all of a sudden on some patches particularly ones that have a) unresolved sends/receives b) mouse input from gem or via canvas dragging in editable window I get clicks in the audio just by moving the mouse across On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@at.or.atwrote:

forgot to mention that minimiiziing pd and controling from html5canvas/javascript/javaudp does not cause dropouts. also if only using pd to send something else makiing the sound there are no dropouts. iits probably just something i'm overlooking.
