Also, if you’re using the PdParty PdParser class, I fixed a bug that was 
causing invalid sendnames:

Ah ok. I just quickly looked at the link you sent. I can change Gui so it only 
loads the vanilla UIs by default and move the scene-specific stuff into the

I am using submodules for the PDParty objects for all GUI classes. The only

I thought it might be done that way. Does sound knife-edge :) I think it’s not 
too conceptually difficult to work with send-receives, plus it makes it easier 
to stream data from the device int Pd on your laptop while developing. 

We could work out a way to make the PdParty objects more extensible so you 
could use the iem implementations as well. This can be included with separating 
the PdParty UI from the Core and pd gui implementations. SO Submodule instead 
of copy/paste classes (I could use any bug finding help as well!)

I stayed away from connection lines mainly because trying to implement 
“editing” is perhaps an unreasonable task for a single, unpaid developer. 
Drawing the lines brings that expectation, no? ALso, since I’m using 
sends/receievs there are no lines to render anyway ...

Mmm that implies, as I’ve written above, that people can “edit” in MobMuPlat.

Re: [PD] New "native" Pd GUI support in MobMuPlat

2016-01-08 Thread Daniel Iglesia
I'm glad you asked! It's done in a slightly convoluted, potentially
fragile, possibly un-scalable way.

When a user loads a .pd file, pre-proccessing is done on the .pd text to
generate _two_ new .pd files, one for execution, and one for display The
two communicate with each other.
This split is done at:
https://github.com/monkeyswarm/MobMuPlat/blob/master/MobMuPlat-iOS/MobMuPlat/PdGui/MMPPdPatchDisplayUtils.m#L16

1) The "engine" patch is the patch that is actually opened by libpd and
generates audio. The processing replaces each gui object with a Pd
abstraction I made (termed a "shim" in the code) that has a send/receive
relationship (with an auto-generated handle) with the MobMuPlat- layer GUI
code.
So a line (this is the toggle in the "MMPExamples-NativeGUI.pd" file).
#X obj 253 440 tgl 45 0 /demoToggleSend /demoToggleReceive
I'm_using_send_and_receive
becomes
#X obj 253 440 MMPPdGuiFiles/MMPPdGuiShim 15-gui-send 15-gui-rec
/demoToggleSend /demoToggleReceive;
"15-gui-send" and "15-gui-receive" are the handles for send/receive with
the user-visible gui object.
Note that existing send/receive behavior is kept intact (with
/demoToggleSend and /demoToggleReceive)
There's a few flavors of this shim (in
github.com/monkeyswarm/MobMuPlat/tree/master/MobMuPlat-iOS/MobMuPlat/PdGui):
a main one for most GUI objects, a special one for a "bang", and a special
one for a message object.

2) The "GUI" patch is a simpler process, it just, for every GUI object,
sets the send/receive handles to the same auto-generated handles generated
for the matching "engine" shim that should communicate with it. After
processing, this pd patch is then read and rendered to native-app-layer GUI
widgets.

I've tested this to work for using the "internal" (object property)
send/receive labels, attaching to send/receive objects, using "set",
one-to-many and many-to-one communication. However there's probably some
use case I've overlooked (or some fun way to make it stack overflow when it
shouldn't). Let me know...!

Separate questions for everyone:
1) you may notice that the current version does not render connection
lines. While the patch text lists all the connections (and inlet/outlet
indices for them), the app doesn't know how many inlets/outlets each object
has. I haven't delved too deeply for it yet, but is there an interface
somewhere that will return that information? e.g. here's an atom line for
an object and its parameters, tell me how many inlets/outlets. If so, then
connection lines could be rendered correctly. (Without it, I could still
render conneciton lines, but if there are empty inlets/outlets after a
connection then they would not be shown.)

2) Is showing the full set of patch objects (and, eventually, connection
lines) even desirable? (Rather than just rendering the gui objects). I'm
thinking of an option that would switch their display on/off. (But leave
GUI objects, including message boxes)

Thanks for input, Dan I.
