2007-09-22 Thread Andy Farnell


Yes, stupid me, print is part of pd-gui not pd.

I was thinking this: The diagram is the program - The program is the diagram.
Surely a Pd file contains everything needed to make a printout of it, better
than an ascii diagram, perhaps use Gimp GD or somehow convert each line

#X obj X Y objectname; 

to a little box. But then I can't figure how you'd do the inlets/outlets
and connections without a list of object properties. Is that impossible?
It seems The diagram is the program !- The program is the diagram. :(

Re: [PD] [ANN] new external: tracker

2007-09-22 Thread federico
 after compiling your external (with tk2c.bash copied in /usr/bin
 beforehand)

you don't have to, I guess.
tk2c it's just a script for embedding tk into C source files.

 /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/tracker.pd_linux:
 /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/tracker.pd_linux: undefined symbol:
 binbuf_read_via_canvas

it seems to require at least pd-0.40-3


also: people getting 'invalid command name pdtk_tracker_dialog'
error, probably have trouble running that script.
please try running manually:

./tk2c.bash  tracker.tk  tracker.tk2c

hope this helps

thank you, I'll include it in the distribution

 The properties dialog works, it seams. I haven't had time to really
 play with it. It seams quite cpu greedy, as it make Pd eat 60% cpu

that's sad :(
on Linux just it takes 1% cpu (athlon 2800+) running with row tracking active.

indeed drawing is done very cleverly, so I don't figure the reason of
that cpu usage.

 time like instantly. It might be a OSX/TCL issue though(?). I mainly

I hope something that could be fixed... I'll ask to pd-devs

 build it to see how it looked. Looks nice. I think the editing
 features are interesting. Attached is also a screenshot of the help

[PD] DMX oriented library for PD?

2007-09-22 Thread David Schaffer
Hi, 

   Is there such thing as a DMX language oriented library for pd?  I never 
heard of it but it would certainly be an amazing step forward for the program: 
being able to deal with sound, video, midi and lighting control signals would 
make it a must-have for theaters... Considering pd's control signals abilities, 
it shouldn't be too hard to emulate a lighting board's functions, and also the 
sound/lighting interraction could be much deeper. Has anyone thought of this 
before? I know there's usb-dmx boxes out there...

Hi David, Chris, List

there was a dmx external by Chris Kummerer, the page does not
exist anymore: http://test.pilot.fm/pd/externs/

Olaf Matthes did an External for Max only:
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/maxmsp/

I once bought an Enttec DMX USB interface (enttec.com) but did never get
it to run, because the dmx4linux drivers did not compile for my kernel:

On the dmx4linux-webpage they write:
http://llg.cubic.org/dmx4linux/
2005-09-14 :
DMX4Linux 2.6 released. The first release to support linux 2.6 kernels, but not 
all drivers have been ported yet

The developers are very nice, and told me about a way to compile it,
which i did not, bc it meant going through a lot of files and changing
some variable names, which i postponed to winter/summer holidays (choose
one) :-)

Perhaps you speak german? This is out of an email by Michael Stickel
(dmx4linux developer), Feb 2006, michael[at]roasted.cubic.org:
Quote:
Ueberall wo in den dmx4linux Sourcen (Makefile's und config.mk) -ldmx
vorkommt
durch -ldmx512 ersetzen und im lib Ordner im Makefile statt libdmx als
target libdmx512 angeben, dann sollte er das als libdmx512.so.* und
libdmx512.a uebersetzen.
\Quote

It would be great if the drivers and the external by Chris were still
available and would compile, please keep us posted about any success you
have!

regards, Peter

It should be doable with [comport] and an EIA-485 converter on your 
serial port, _except_ the snag is the baud rate of 25, which is not 
available on most serial ports.
For usb, this thing looks good, it already has a pd object:

 It's not just antialiased, it's TrueType, and the TrueType Courier has too 
 much spacing above and below, so either your font gets very small or your 
 boxes get too big.

[PD] call for pdpedia templates

2007-09-22 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

Hey,

So Marius almost has the scripted importing done, so the next big  
step is to figure out what the default template for each page will  
be.  I can think of two template pages that are needed right now:  
objectclasses (or whatever you want to call it) and library pages.

Here's a quick sketch of what an objectclass template could be, but  
it's very rough:

http://pdpedia.at.or.at/test/index.php/object3

So at this point, just make your own, then we can work on taking the  
ideas from the sketches and making final ones.

[PD] Gem Library issue (permissions??)

2007-09-22 Thread eric labelle
Hi,

I've been digging through the archives of the mailing list trying to find
more info on this problem I'm having getting Gem to load but I can't find
anything promising so at the risk of being told to RTFM I'm turning to you
guys for help.

I installed the CCRMA gem package on Fedora Core 6 and everything went great
but when I run pd -lib Gem as root or as a regular user the program boots
and I get the following message in the console:

/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/libaviplayavcodec-0.7.so.0:
cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
Gem: can't load library

Anybody got any pointers as to what this might be? Like I said I even tried
running the command as root thinking it might just be the permissions on the
library.

Sorry I'm still new to all this, thanks!

I'm using Debian etch, with ttf-bitstream-vera installed. I installed
Hans's Pd-0.39.3-extended-rc5-debian-stable-i386.deb package.

My resolution is 1400x1050, and I don't think I've done anything

 So it turns out that there is at least one person who has problems

 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

[PD] scale from maxlib - undocumented feature

Hi,

I just found out that if a list is sent to a |scale|, all values after the

Is this intentional, or was it a lucky effect? Maybe it would be better to

a different app, like Terminal, does it work ok?

Otherwise, the font spacing looks good, including 12 point.

 I'm using Debian etch, with ttf-bitstream-vera installed. I installed
 Hans's Pd-0.39.3-extended-rc5-debian-stable-i386.deb package.

 My resolution is 1400x1050, and I don't think I've done anything
 explicitly to set the DPI.

 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:

 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

Re: [PD] pd-0.40.3 anti-aliased (screenshot)

2007-09-22 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

I think that fighting against Tk and different font files is not a  
good option.  That's basically what we have now, and it's not working  
well.  I don't think fighting more against Tk will make things better.

I think the best option is to use a standard font that is known to be  
the same size on all platforms.  Like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.   
There are others as well. Inconsolata looks quite promising, but  
isn't done yet.

The other option is to choose fonts that are proven to be the same  
size.  Courier has proven to be different sizes on each platform.   
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono and Monaco (included in Mac OS X) are quite  
close.  I think that Lucida Console (included in Windows) could be  
quite close as well, but I haven't measured it.

 i guess it's because it is using tk8.5

 It's not just antialiased, it's TrueType, and the TrueType Courier  
 has too
 much spacing above and below, so either your font gets very small  
 or your
 boxes get too big.

Mac also uses the embedded Tcl/Tk.  Only on GNU/Linux does Pd use the  
Tcl/Tk as installed in /usr/.

[PD] [PD-announce] first released draft of the PDDP help template

2007-09-22 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

Hey all,

After so many meetings, discussions, sketches, etc., we agreed upon a  
template for standardized help patches. The PDDP group has come up  
with a basic template to be used for any Pd help patch. The idea is  
to have a standard page which is flexible enough to work for all of  
the Pd objects yet standard enough so that people can quickly skim  
thru help patches to find the information they are looking for  
quickly and with minimal effort.

http://puredata.org/docs/developer/HelpTemplate

While this current template represents a lot of work and discussion,  
we are not claiming that it is perfect or unchangeable. Instead, we  
are seeking feedback from people who are using this template in order  
to improve it. Join us: http://puredata.org/dev/pddp/

 Dear friends,

 The unexpected torrential downpour caused numerous accidents on the
 roads, has drenched the grotto, and destroyed the stage. All this has
 caused us to cancel the festival for now. Patrons who show up will be
 informed.

 We are waiting for the rain to taper off to clean up.

 For those Artists who are on the road, we'll have folks here, and  
 a dry
 spot to hang out, food, and perhaps a small space to jam if you'd  
 like.

Re: [PD] [ANN] new external: tracker

2007-09-22 Thread Patrice Colet

Hello federico,

 After playing with your nice tracker external, I've been exposed to 
bug with [get $1 $2( message.
 In the attached file I'm trying to control a gem/curve3d object with 
using [tracker] like a visual matrix.

 Also I think more things should be implemented in this way,
like some separators, to output also numbers from different successive 
columns, that's what I've been trying to do with the 'get' message...
