I have about 100 spheres I generate with a gemlist which currently display into a gem window. I'd like to instead put them into a gemframebuffer. Is there a way to do this? It seems that gemlist is hardcoded to display in the window? I can think of workarounds i.e. make 100 abstractions of my sphere but that seems clumsy and perhaps inefficient.
Solved it by making a loop instead of using gemlist. Sorry for the noise. See attached for a demo of the solution if you are curious or if you might have a better/alternative solution.

As I continue my conversation with myself. :-) I realize that the solution I posted doesn't work for the current problem I have:
I have values coming in for where to put the spheres which come in between frames I am rendering. I don't have all of the values at once. Currently every time a new value comes in, I bang the gemlist. To do this without gemlist I need a way to store a gemstate/gpointer until the next value comes in. I can't find any way to store such a beast since it isn't supported by [pack] and there is no variable type for it. Is there some way to store the gpointer that I am missing?

hello,
You can use gemlist to render in a framebuffer. the examle 07.texture/11... show how to use multiple gemhead in the same framebuffer. you can do the same with gemlist.
but that did not solve the problem that you receive value in between frames. I don't understand how you can render anything in between frame. are you in single buffer mode? since rendering in the frambuffer should be made at specific moment, you have to store the values (in tables), and do a loop (using repeat or until/gemlist) to render whatever you wish using this values.
