[PD] status of 123 - 125 (curly braces) keycodes?

2012-01-11 Thread Scott R. Looney
hi folks-  being new to PD i just discovered this rather curious
inability to form any kind of message using a Curly brace -  { or  }.
luckily the GUI doesn't crash like before but it refuses to type the
characters. can someone update me on whether that will be addressed
anytime soon, or if not, explain how i could send a statement
containing these characters to udpsend via packOSC? i guess i don't
have to see them or print them but they at least have to be sent.

this is sort of important to anyone wanting to address dynamic
interface creation via JSON as shown by Charlie Roberts in this Max
MSP example:

http://charlie-roberts.com/Control/?p=292

Control is the completely open source variant of closed source
projects like TouchOSC and is much more extendable, as it's completely
based on HTML5, CSS and JSON. i'm currently in the process of porting
his demo patch of dynamic interface creation he made up to PD from
Max.

anyway if anyone has some answers i'd appreciate it - thanks in advance!

[PD] Make pd_include_HEADERS install

2012-01-11 Thread Bjoern Lindig
Hi,

I don't understand why, but I cannot make the pd_include_HEADERS
install at all. The only include-file that is installed it m_pd.h. I
checked the Makefile in src/, but I did not find any reason for this
missbehaviour. What I need is especially the s_stuff.h.

During './configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--includedir=/usr/include --enable-alsa --enable-jack' (I tried both,
with and without the --includedir option) I get this warning:

config.status: WARNING:  'makefile.in' seems to ignore the
--datarootdir setting

Is that related in any ways? During make and make install everything
looks just fine.

Does anybody else encounter this problem? I'm on archlinux. Any help
would be highly appreciated!

Best,

Bjoern

P.s. please tell me, if you need more information, like the output of
'make install' or something similar.

Re: [PD] no pd?? WTF ????

2012-01-11 Thread Max
And that's not the end of the vicious cycle.
Students who saved their money to buy a Max license are often unwilling to 
accept that their work could have been done as easy in Pd, and sometimes even 
better and/or easier. Often they use and stick to Max simply because they have 
spent the money on it. They then keep paying for the updates. this is referred 
to as the concorde effect.

  Hi list!
 
  I got a more clear response from the organizers on this issue than
  anything I've seen in this thread so far - here it is:
 
   Hi Ben,
 
   thanks for your Interest in our Call.
 
   We accepts only patches made with Kyma or Max/MSP due the fact we are not
  able to provide
   financial support for the two selected composers. So it is possible that
  they will not be able to be in Milan  for the concert.
   To avoid technical issues we choose the plattforms we already use in our
  work or we are very familiar with.
   This is the only reason.
   If the selected composer can assure us to be available for the concert the
  can be used any piece of software/hardware.
 
   I hope this helps.
 
   Many thanks

not it's not really related.

however, it tells us, that you are using the wrong build-system!

only if you run ./autogen.sh  ./configure  make install from the
Pd-root your header files will be installed.
the old build-system in src/ will _not_ do that for you.

 _load_ Gem on osx/64bit and eventually to use it.
 it also has multiple window support (each [gemwin] controls a separate
 window).
 
 things are not ready for prime time yet. e.g. expect crashes and weird

 oh, and there is still no native image acquisition implemented...

I just included those 3 commits into the pd-extended/0.43 branch.

The Mac OS X 10.6/x86_64 build server has gmerlin installed, so Gem could use 
that on 64-bit builds.

Probably that's a better solution. Curly braces aren't the only problem 
Pd has with JSON format strings: they contain spaces and commas, which 
will result in them being split into separate messages.

[PD] linux install advice please

I'll be running an intro to Pd workshop at the Melboure Mini Maker Faire

off some of my Arduinstruments and hacks.

I will be providing the install files to participants on usb sticks but
having (shamefully) not used Linux yet I'm wondering if JACK is required
with Ubuntu or Debian installs? (I have grabbed the install info page from
pd.info as well.) I'd like to make sure I'm as prepared as possible
assuming terrible web access.

Any advice is appreciated.

is there any option in PD to make complex patches look less messy ?

for example in MAX you can hide all the connections in performance mode..

in  - you can spline the hords 

in MAX you also can make hords with different angles.. and so on..

is there any way in PD to tidy it all up ?

i can't find it.

Re: [PD] how to tidy up patches ? (?????? ????????)

2012-01-11 Thread Alexandre Torres Porres
 is there any option in PD to make complex patches look less messy ?

not really. What you have to do is be able to design the patches with
method, and think about it.

I personally don't see this as a restrain, or something serious we should
worry about in doing it. I can easily get lost when MAX's chords are not
just a straight line explicitly telling you where it's coming from and
going to. And hiding chords or patch bits can be a lot like throwing the
mess under the carpet.

A code in order to be really clean and tidy needs to be well organized,
rewritten, and just clear.

So, all you got is subpatches and send objects. Just do hundreds of
subpatches, it can be really good for making you have to think about

not really. What you have to do is be able to design the patches with 
method, and think about it.


I personally don't see this as a restrain, or something serious we 
should worry about in doing it. I can easily get lost when MAX's 
chords are not just a straight line explicitly telling you where it's 
coming from and going to. And hiding chords or patch bits can be a lot 
like throwing the mess under the carpet.


A code in order to be really clean and tidy needs to be well 
organized, rewritten, and just clear.


So, all you got is subpatches and send objects. Just do hundreds of 
subpatches, it can be really good for making you have to think about 
designing an organized patch, it may be better than being allowed to, 
lets say, cheat and pretend is not messy.

No, it's me, too, and many other PD-coders, I'm sure. Excellent advice, 
Alex.

I agree, also you can use canvas objects to build GUI elements and hide
your messy patches behind those, but personally I really like the look of
objects and patch cords everywhere xD

It's more important to make patches less messy, rather than making them 
look less messy.


But if you really want to hide things, you can hide both the connections 
and the ordinary objects by using the Graph-on-Parent (GOP) feature of 
subpatches and abstractions.

Re: [PD] linux install advice please

2012-01-11 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

I've tried to make the Pd-extended packages work out-of-box with audio without 
jack.  As long as no other apps are trying to play sound on Debian/Ubuntu, and 
they launch Pd-extended from the Applications menu, the sound should just 
work.

 It's more important to make patches less messy, rather than making them look 
 less messy.

There are some basics, like trying not to hide wires and avoid ambiguous 
placement 
of objects/wires, but at some point it becomes a wasted conversation because 
box widths and therefore wire positions/angles can vary based available fonts 
and 
how the windowing system renders them.  So a patch on one system can look 
tidy, while different fonts (or different rendering of the same font) can 
introduce 
an ambiguity on a different system.

 But if you really want to hide things, you can hide both the connections and 
 the 
 ordinary objects by using the Graph-on-Parent (GOP) feature of subpatches and 
 abstractions.

Ok thanks Hans,

Great to know. Should be easy then. =)

Hi !

is there any option in PD to make complex patches look less messy ?

for example in MAX you can hide all the connections in performance mode..

in  - you can spline the hords

in MAX you also can make hords with different angles.. and so on..

is there any way in PD to tidy it all up ?

i can't find it.

maybe it is really something to do ?


It's a feature, not a bug. Why? At least two reasons comwe to mind

1. You can deliberately create messy, uncomprehensible cmoplicated- 
esotheric-looking patches which really impress girls/guys


or

2. As already suggested it forces you to strictly, unconditionally stick 
to the rule: it it starts to look messy, I probably need to make a 
subpatch along the lines of certain programming theorems that say 
something like if a program starts to go beyound the screen you 
probably need a function (not sure what the average screen resolution 
was when it was enunciated though)


Of course 1. is usually more fun, and no one really follows 2. when the 
deadline is midnight and it is 10.15pm :)


Lorenzo.
