Nice. I did this a little while ago too with the help of Frank and Miller
in order to print out entire directories of patches. You might want to 
add this awk script into the chain (assuming it's still needed), it corrects
the pointsize and position of object text in the postscript file.

2007-09-21 Thread Andy Farnell

btw, Pd does recognise "print", Frank also helped me get this going

But: It uses old style netreceive which is suicide to run on a server.

The attached patch was used to print out live snapshots of graphs in
running Pd patches. 

Send two commands on the socket, first one open the patch you want,
sleep is needed or you get a blank page, second one tells Pd to print.

>From Perl 

print "opening Pd file\n";
$pdopencmd = "echo \"pd open $pdfile ./;\""." "." | pdsend 3001"; # open new Pd 
file
system($pdopencmd);
sleep(2);
print "printing pd to postscript\n";
$pdprintcmd =  "echo \"pd-$pdfile print $pdfile.ps;\" | pdsend 3001"; #print ps 
image
system($pdprintcmd);

[PD] pdpedia - creation of png images of patches

2007-09-21 Thread ild0012

i just got an idea how to easealy create antialiased images of patches,
as someone had proposed this as a pdpedia feature erlier on this list.

in order to do it automaticly i first thougt of adding [loadbang]-[;pd
print patch.pd( to each patch (by just echoing a few lines to it)
but apparently pd doesnt recognize 'print' msg ..but there should be
some other way of making it ( via tcl msgs , i suppose )
so then just a pstoimg can be used :
pstoimg -antialias -aaliastext pd.ps

[shell] external can be used as well, actualy .. and maybe after [shell]
returns 0, [; pd exit( can be sent.

i just have writen this in case someone is realy gonna add this feature
to pdpedia ..

Excellent, it compiled on windows (properties window still does not
thought).
Also, I think you should specify that your external requires PD 0.4

Attached the compiled windows version and a modified makefile.

today I release a new external: tracker

if I have to describe it, I would say it is a 2D grid editor, with

tracking of the row being read (see help patch attached)

you can get it there, or in CVS under the externals/ffext/tracker directory.

Re: [PD] pdpedia - when can we start doing stuff?

2007-09-21 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner


In case this wasn't clear before, please go ahead and hack away at  
the pdpedia.at.or.at/test site.  that will remain there for a while  
while we set this stuff up.


Then, once we get the scripted data dump working, that will dump into  
another new site (currently wiki.puredata.info, but now i am thinking  
pdpedia.puredata.info would be a better name).  So you could move  
content from pdpedia.at.or.at once the final pdpedia site is setup.


Plus it would be great if you did start dumping content into the test  
site because then we can get a better idea of how we should organize  
it.  I am aiming to have the new site up in a week.

[PD] call for testing: Pd-extended fonts on GNU/Linux

2007-09-21 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

So it turns out that there is at least one person who has problems  
with the current Pd-extended font setup on GNU/Linux.

The only place that I have seen a problem is _only_ 12 point fonts  
and _only_ on some GNU/Linux machines.  Everywhere else that I have  
tested (which is 25+ machines at this point) it works.

So in an effort to track down the source of this, I ask all y'all  
running Pd-extended on any flavor of GNU/Linux to post screenshots  
like this, with Pd launched from the command line so you can see the  
tk scaling value:

http://pow.idmi.poly.edu/~hans/pdfonts/screenshots/

Also, it would be very useful to know which flavor of GNU/Linux you  
are running, which screen resolution, and whether you've set any kind  
of DPI setting.  Please post the images on the web somewhere (like  
puredata.info) and I'll gather them from there.

Remember, you need to have Bitstream Vera Sans Mono installed and  
working for things to render correctly.  It's included on most  
standard installs, but if you have a customized install, you should  
double-check that it's actually installed.

Fedora: yum install bitstream-vera-fonts
Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera

most likely it is a problem with permissions: check whether there is a

I don't really know Linux, but have you test your configuration (usb  
webcam) with pdp object ([pdp_v4l]) ?
I know it's not a good answer, but it could help to know if your  
webcam work with your system.
Sorry !

[PD] logitech webcam and GEM

2007-09-21 Thread altern
hi

i am trying to use a USB webcam with GEM on my IBM laptop with Ubuntu 
Studio but pd gives me an error

error: failed opening device '/dev/video0'

the same camera runs perfectly on the same laptop under XP and also on 
my desktop machine with Ubuntu Studio. All using the same patch and same 
versions of PD and GEM.

The camera is a logitech quickcam communicate STX
PD 0.39.3 extended-rc5
Linux r2d2-desktop 2.6.20-16-lowlatency #2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 31 
00:58:46 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

The camera seems to be recognised, if i plug it on i can see the 
camera's blue light flashing and dmesg gives this :

[27776.980572] ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: USB SPCA5XX camera 
found.(ZC3XX)

same message as in the desktop machine.

Comparing the PD output from both machines i can see that after saying

- GEM start rendering
my desktop says :
- v4l::thread starting
but the laptop says:
- error: failed opening device '/dev/video0'

i searched with synaptic for v4l and compared all stuff installed in 
both machines just in case i was missing some library in the laptop, but 
it is exactly the same in both...

my bet is that some module is missing, but i dont know which ones might 
be as i havent mess around with modules very much so far, i am comparing 
the lsmod from the desktop and laptop at the moment, there are few 
differences but i dont really know where to start from, any one has any 
idea?

thanks!

enrike
