Hi,
When using Gem for live-performances, how do people get their preview-window before the actual 'output'? Right now I only know about the possibility of using one gemwin which will be used with a offset message as the projection. Is it possible to get 2 preview-windows, or is a 'vga-splitter' [projector / 2nd monitor] the only solution to be able to see what you're doing when performing?
Thanks,
Sara
may be the next feature in the coming release...
here's some news from Gem-dev list,

...so, tonight I got the multiple_window branch to compile and run on OSX, but it's not running quite completely...so far it will create new windows (and apparently gl contexts) for each [gemwindow] object, and I have them hooked up to a [gemcontrol]. but only the last one created actually displays anything...
weird, i remember having had similar problems in the beginning, but they disappeared after several re-compiles (probably i did change something but i don't remember any more...)
...I'm not sure if it's a compile/link-order problem (like I often had with pix_film/pix_video inheritance), or if it's a problem of not creating windows with shared contexts? It'd be nice if it were the former, but I strongly suspect it's the latter...
...if indeed it's the shared context-problem, then we'll need to somehow pass along the previous context's info to createGemWindow()...
...ok, got around to trying out the shared context thing, and guess what? It works! However, before I commit it I'd like to try it with dual screens, and also do a good bit of cleaning up the macwindow code: it's uuuuuugly...
...so, does this work on windoze? If so, I guess it's about time to merge it into HEAD...

...unfortunately one is stuck with one window under "gem-as-it-is"...fortunately, IOhannes came up with a new "multiple_window" scheme, which is under said tag in the gem cvs...even better (at least for you, cuz I think yr on osx, right?), I just got the multiple_window branch to work on OSX last week, and atm am cleaning up the code to commit it...now, it's a whole other question as to when this'll get released: I'm not sure if the code is complete/working on windoze?
...anyway, it'll exactly answer your above needs :-)

Hey James,

This is good news! Unfortunately i'll have a performance this saturday, so I think i'll set up with a VGA-splitter..
Thanks,
Sara
