Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Well, something like this: Create and move freely the points that form the broken line (even though it looks smooth) with the mouse by clicking in a nice GUI with many visual and data handling options and functions (zoom, colors, cut-copy-paste, undo are just a few that come to my mind rapidly). Also with the mouse, set the smoothness factor of each point (that would affect the concavity of the adjacent lines). By double clicking in a point, an exact value of coordinates could be entered by text. In addition, it could have a text-based-point-creation control panel, where could be set the coordinates where the point will be created. Finally, a export to text file function with selectable resolution. (May be a send to PD + arrayname would be ok too) This is what comes to my mind. May be it's too much. Should I try to build this in PD or I should use another language? In that case, which one? ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
it could be done in pd using datastructures - but for that you should ask to the people who know how to work with them. I don't know if eg. Processing might have some modules for that. I know that you can do that with some csound compositional assistance programs (blue? cecilia? look in csounds.com). they export for text, because csound works with text - but then the information has to be converted to pd format (which shouldn't be hard to do). I would advise to stay in pd, unless the gui part is really important. in that case maybe processing, but I'm making up as I go now. better ask some of the pros here, who also know all about data structures.

Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Is this utility I've made some weeks ago useful for you? (needs pd-ext) Hi everyone. I need to draw arrays with different levels of complexity and precision rapidly in PD mainly for control purposes. I imagine something like Adobe Illustrator's vector functions with capabilities of exporting the result as an array of numbers which could be easily imported in PD. It's too much, isn't it? Any ideas? For the moment I'm working with a sort of polynomial interpolating algorithm. It works, but it's not good for smooth curves and the text based input is neither rapid to create the array nor to modify some part of it. Since it would be quite useful for me, I am willing to make by myself if it doesn't exists (and to share it if someone is interested, of course), but I'll need advices of what programming language fits best for that. Keep in mind that I work under OS X 10.5.5. Any clue?

Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Thank you João. This utility is quite useful for editing arrays appearance, but your drawing segments function is similar to mine, and I'm looking for some hybrid text-GUI editor. Am I clear or just crazy? Thanks anyway Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
I just didn't understand what you mean exactly with the gui/text editor, or how it's going to be used. is it going to be controlled by gui, by text, or both? can you give examples? one inconvenient of the draw function is that it only works if the whole array is drawn. partial editing isn't yet there.
