hi list,
this is my first post...
i try to make a patch which will mirror my webcaminput and then display it. to 
be more precise: it should take half of the picture and send it to the other 
side, where normally the other half would be, additionally it should be 
mirrored horizontally. the effect achieved looks like a photobooth effect (in 
osx) don't know the name though. so the patch is fairly easy to setup. i just 
did a pix_crop to get half of the webcam and then sent the signal through two 
pix_separator's. after i applied on one a pix_flip horizontally. to display 
this i used two pix_textures going to two rectangle objects. the positioning is 
done via translateXYZ. so far so good. i can see the picture that i want in the 
gemwindow. 
        
        however, i see no way to save the picture. the pix_write object just 
takes one pix "stream", so the mirroring effect will be lost. is there a way to 
combine to streams into one again, like pix_join or merge? or is there another 
way? 
        
        also, the positioning of the first rectangle does affect the 
positioning of the second, if i move the first (created) rectangle via 
translateXYZ the second one get's moved as well. why is that? maybe i do it all 
wrong, im not an experienced pd/gem user, just did audio so far.
        
        thanks for your time and answers,
        
        simon
        
        ps: i attached the patch.
