Hi,

thanks for that great feature Hans !

That's great, because it depends on the serial hardware, which are
mostly usb-serial converters these days.

Also thought the same about the bottom icon bar, but it could be good if
IOhannes could tell what we can use to replace those icons.

I'm afraid without the dotted background, the whole page would feel like
floating, and content areas will be difficult to recognize.

Screen statistic would be good,
actually, can we publicly see the statistics of the portal?

M




 - i love the dotted background
 - the bottom icon bar (iem-powered etc) is oldschool and shall go
 - we may not need the accessibility link but some people do
 - a bit afraid that fixed width may be a problem on some mobiles. btw: are
 there some web stats for puredata.info that have screen size statistics?

 2 cents,
 Andr?s

 Yeah, that's what I meant with comparing them in the audio domain. It'll
 probably be a bit more efficient than the message domain comparison.
 I'll have to find out. Thanks for your suggestion.

It seems, that this is the only workable way. First, I tried to scan the
array at regular rates with an [until] counter. This is problematic,
because if the array is big enough (I limited the size to a maximum of
2048) and depending on the current audio buffer size, this likely causes
drop-outs. I then tried to spread the CPU time consumed over time with
some kind of a slow [until], which doesn't fire immediately, but with
short intervals. It turns out, although it prevents drop-outs, it's even
a bigger CPU hog. Doing the comparison in the audio domain seems to be
the smartest choice for now.

 Never tried it though.

From what I know, re-blocking also costs something. And you can re-block
only in powers of two, if I am not mistaken. Actually, [tabplay~] should
work just fine without re-blocking and unlike [tabreceive~ ] I can
re-trigger it in arbitrary intervals.

[PD] pix_film and readsf not in sync....

2012-03-08 Thread altern
hi

I am reading a video with pix_film and trigger it using auto, at the
same time load a sound file with readsf ~ . This is ok for a while but
after some time they go out of sync. The sound goes faster than the
video.

Any simple solution to this? or do I need to construct my own system
to play the video passing the frame number to the pix_film? maybe
using a line object with the total num of frames and the total time
length of the video ...

ehmm.. No, of course I didn't mean to just delete the IEM and credits
colophons,
that would be insane.

I only thought maybe we can make them look nicer, and prominent.
Now it is not prominent at all at the bottom of the page, and so little.

Can we make new colophons or are there bigger, nicer ones?

Personally, I could leave those, but if we can make them better, why not..

That's a good example of the implications inherent in floats. What you
call a work-around is actually the correct solution. When counting, make
sure you count with something that can precisely represented by floats,
otherwise the error will grow with each iteration. Integers up to
1.6*10^7 meet that criterion.

The issue will arise later, because you have two a many bits for
representing your value, but the problem still exists.

As Pd is a programming language, this is good read on the issue:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html

I think that's a bit uncalled for. It's not spam, the book is entirely
relevant to the PD community since it centres on libpd, and the target
audience for the book is very much similar to the subscriber base for

I don't see how that would be any different than advertising a concert

you would need to pay to attend.

in float32 you have 24 significant bits.
in float64 you have 53 significant bits.

Hmm - well I did apologise to begin with.

There aren't any concerts on this list with paying admission in general, or
tbh that many workshops either, though I would admit that there are some as
part of conferences etc, which do cost money.  As a pseudo-academic I do
those a bit but pretty much always taking part in some form.

It's the arselicking I'm struggling with hey guys we're all in this

 Yeah, you're totally right. If I'd build a self-enclosed patch, this
 wouldn't be an issue. The goal here is to create an abstraction able to
 keep an instance of a table in sync over network. I would like to avoid
 to design it in a way, that forces the user of the abstraction to
 actively notify it about changes. And since I also want to track manual
 edits, I need some kind of a watchdog anyway. So  I still go for the
 watchdog solution, until the Pd-l2ork features make into Pd.

 Can you guarantee that [tabsend~] will never be sending to that array?

Re: [PD] nonlocal message passing scope

2012-03-08 Thread Jonathan Wilkes
Ok, I updated the patch for the canvas get method, and I added a quick demo 
of the s/r symbol 

scope I have in mind:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3308027group_id=55736atid=478072

(see tf/test.pd.)

Currently all the actual symbols are in their own namespace (through 
obfuscation), but now I'm 

thinking it'd be better to make all the parent level stuff as simple as 
$0-symbolname, and just 

leave global variables unprefixed.  That way we could add a dialog to 
array/iemguis to automate 

the prefixing of $0-, and then a set of abstractions could easily 
replace/wrap most nonlocal 

objects.

 I don't know if making it easier to do would be good for learning but it

 Well, if you had abstraction wrappers for [s]/[r], [throw~]/[catch~], 
 [s~]/[r~], 
 [v], and dialog box entries for the
 
 Put menu array and iemguis (and possibly canvas properties), you 
 wouldn't have to bother with $0 as a user. 
 
 Plus a convenience abstraction to prefix a given symbol based on the scope 
 you 
 want, so that you can use it 
 
 as a send-symbol inside message boxes.  I guess the sticking points are 
 objects 
 that take an array name as 
 
 an argument-- in the majority of cases those are settable, so I guess the 
 user 
 could choose between 
 
 loadbanging a symbol or just using $0-prefixes there.
 
 
 There are probably other uses of $0 that I'm missing... [struct] names I 
 guess, but there you're already 
 
 punished for using $0 since it makes it impossible to reload scalar state.
 
 
 -Jonathan
 
 
 
 I try not to think about how that works. once I figured it out I wrote down 
 what I learned and use it as a reference or I'll just go look in  a patch 
 that I have used in and duplicate.

Re: [PD] nonlocal message passing scope

2012-03-08 Thread Billy Stiltner
I got stuck redoing an lfo for polysynth where each voice has it's own lfo
osces but the tables sit in a parent patch. Its easy to name the lfo tables
$0lfo1 ,$0lfo2 . It is not so simple when putting the table in an
abstraction that can be reused. I guess just name the table $2$1 and pass
in the creation argument lfo1 $0. For some reason though other things got
confusing inside the abstraction.

  That's a good example of the implications inherent in floats. What you
  call a work-around is actually the correct solution. When counting, make
  sure you count with something that can precisely represented by floats,
  otherwise the error will grow with each iteration. Integers up to
  1.6*10^7 meet that criterion.
  Is this still an issue when float precision is 64-bit?
 
 in float32 you have 24 significant bits.
 in float64 you have 53 significant bits.
 
 This means that the limit is pushed back from 16777216 to 9007199254740992 
 instead.

But 0.1 still cannot be represented exactly by float64, can it?
