Very cool.  Is this using tkpath?


Yep :-)

It's been quite an overhaul, however, far from a simple drop-in 
replacement to get this but I think it's been totally worth it.


Best wishes,

only that many Fanout(2) problems originate in a Fanout(1) design, where
at some point the patch was extended and branches where execution order
did not matter suddenly are merged again in a way where execution order
*does* matter.


i think that most patchers have heard about [trigger] and it's merits,
it just doesn't occur to them that in their specific patch execution
order does matter.
i dare say that most of the buggy patches posted here (and elsewhere)
are buggy exactly because a Fanout(1) mutated into a Fanout(2).

as for simon's asynchronous semantics of fan-out, it's probably better
to start using it only *after* it has been implemented.

conclusion: always make execution order explicit, even if you currently
don't care about it. the end.

[PD] Upcoming pd-l2ork release teaser

2013-08-27 Thread Ivica Ico Bukvic
We are coming up on a new pd-l2ork release--one that I am particularly 
excited about. As I continue to put on the finishing touches, I wanted 
to share a small but hopefully sweet teaser screenshot with everyone :-)

while it does look pretty, i hope you are not going to start teaching
people to use fan-out rather than [trigger].

Fanout(1) = the order in which child chains are computed does not matter 
and doesn't need to be explicit
Trigger(1) = the order in which child chains are computed does matter 
and is explicit
Trigger(2) = the order in which child chains are computed doesn't matter 
but for aesthetic reasons is made explicit


Fanout(2) = the order in which child chains are computed does matter and 
is ambiguous.


When reading a patch, one may confuse Trigger(2) for Trigger(1), but 
that's no big deal because ordering

is explicit either way.

When reading a patch, one may confuse Fanout(2) for Fanout(1), and that 
could cause a run time error.


Therefore, the user should never use Fanout(2).

In the png the chain stops at the fanned out number boxes, so the 
ordering cannot matter.


Therefore, the png must be an example of Fanout(1).

As such, the png cannot be an example of teaching people to use fanout 
instead of trigger _unless_

you mean Trigger(2) should _always_ be preferred to Fanout(1).

If Trigger(2) is always preferred to Fanout(1), then there is no way to 
visually signify when ordering

doesn't matter.

Therefore, in cases where crossed wires or other ambiguities are not an 
issue, Fanout(1) is preferable

to Trigger(2).

Conclusion: teach Fanout(1) and Trigger(2) for situations where ordering 
doesn't matter, and Trigger(1) for

situations where it does.  The end.

also, in a potential future with some kinds of parallelism in pd, taking Fanout 
(rather than Trigger) as an explicit statement that the branches are not 
dependent on order of execution is quite interesting, and very consistent with 
the ideal that Fanout order is undefined. But that is a dream-space a long way 
off for pd as it is now.

Of course interpreting Fanout as allowing asynchronous execution of the branches 
is somewhat stronger than taking Fanout to mean what it currently does, which is 
that the branches can be completed in any arbitrary sequence.
