Bob,
I had forgotten completely about that conversation. Thanks, so much, for it
and for reminding me of it. The "remaining challenge" would be quite
dysfunctional. I wonder if the new iOS 8 "connectivity" feature of iOS
might be a step in the direction of removing the "challenge", but even that
probably requires some developer recoding.
I certainly would not be apologizing for my coding if I were you. Your code
looks very effective. I would love to be able to piggyback on your
examples, but it seem premature to try, given the "challenge" (an MY lack
of coding skill).
I was disappointed that the following code I posted initially in this
thread throws an error when GRB is the x argument of either viewmat or of
jv ; no failure occurs if the x argument is not provided. I have tried to
do some debugging and found that the left argument, which has shape 8 3,
is mangled somewhere in getvm_jviewmat_ or in getvm1_jviewmat_ to be of
shape 8 1. I have not figured out where and am currently stumped because
the debug is not working. I have been unable to restart J because `exit ''`
only produces a message about how to really exit and that message seems
outdated, because I can no longer press and hold on the J avatar and induce
a little '-' sign like I could in earlier iOS versions. At present I am
waiting to restart the iPad after powering it down, in the hopes that J
will restart, also.
Btw, are you able to reproduce an error from the following code snippet?
GRB=:1 0 2{"1 (#:i.8){0 255
]A=:>:i.8
GRB viewmat A
Thanks, again,
