It's a cyclone object, which means it's a clone of a Max object. Krzysztof didn't really ever write docs for his code. But his code is generally quite good, so it's worth documenting. If you make a help patch for this, and add it to the patch tracker, I'll check it in. Then there will be a help patch :) http://puredata.info/dev/patchtracker Here's the code: http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/externals/miXed/ cyclone/sickle/trapezoid.c?view=log .hc > > > > > > Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: >> >> I am guessing it's a windowing function, but that's a guess. >> >> .hc >> >> On Nov 13, 2007, at 5:25 PM, PSPunch wrote: >> >>> >>> Hi list.. >>> >>> I've learned about the object "trapezoid~" in one of >>> the posts few months ago. >>> >>> Are there any resources online on how to use this object? >>> My pd-extended(Win) contained the class itself but no help file, >>> nor was it mentioned in a Max/Msp references I found in pdf >>> format based on ver.4.5. >>> >>> >>> Thanks :) >>> -- >>> David Shimamoto >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> [email protected] mailing list >>> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> >>> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list >> >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> ------- >> >> >> Terrorism is not an enemy.
