Hello everyone,

i'm Thomas. Trying to set up an interactive visualisation for the performances of my band ( www.sojus3000.de ), i chose puredata. I have got a video with different scenes in it running in GEM. The indices for these scenes are written in a textfile, from which i can get the size and read the indices into a list. Now the question i'd like to ask is whether one can allocate an array being exactly as big as the size of the index list??

Greetings
Thomas

You can resize arrays like this:

[resize n( <-replace "n" with size
|
[s array] <-replace "array" with name of array

You can pre-allocate the size of an array like this:

[table name n]  <-replace "name" with the array name and "n" with its size

You can also dynamically generate a [table object] of a specific size like this:

[pd arrays] <- subpatch we will be putting the arrays in


[name n( <-replace "name" with array name and "n" with size
|          you will probably want to automate this with [until]  and $1 $2 
[obj 10 10 table $1 $2(
| [clear( <- erase all the dynamically created arrays
|/
