Is there a way to rotate Anti-aliased text?
I'm searching for a way to make the text look smoother, like text2d but able to rotate.

Thanks.

Check the help from [pix_buffer] it works like

What is your problem with the playlist object?

Hello,

Yes it is.

See here:

Hello,

This installation uses puredata + arduino + wiimote:

This is a dance piece where the video is done with puredata:

This is a test of generating video with midi events but something went wrong when joining the screen capture and the sound and it gets progressively out of sync:

Good luck for the presentation.

Lazy way with pd-extended on Linux:

[counter] and [playlist]

Send the message "seek $1" to playlist it will send the files path in sequence and behave like a round list (see the help file).

It works if I change the l to list.

Thanks a lot sonsofsol!

I get " l ... coundn't create" on the dna.pd patch, is there some abstraction missing?

I don't think you need to study computer programming properly to go into Linux, it can be frustrating at times but it is like that with all operating systems, you just need patience and a web browser

Do you have audio when the system starts or you play a sound file?

Wuau, thanks sonsofsol, there are lots of things here that I want to learn for a long time.

sonsofsol, your site is nice, but I can't find the patches (it doesn't help that I don't understand much German...)

I would really like to understand how the dynamic patching works.

I use pulse-jack from falkTX ppa but this is for ubuntu Lucid only, or a music player that can use jack like Aqualung.

I really like how it sounds, thank you!

@morganevansweiler said:

it generally uses upwards 50 percent. is that causing it?

Possibly, pd can only use one core of the cpu so you only see 50% usage, if you use 2 instances it can use 2 cores or 100%.

Even if you only have one core hyper threading can make the OS act as there are two.

Please do, I am very Interested in this.

Thank you and good luck.

What I usually do is use 2 instances of pd one for video that I start with "pd -noaudio" and the other with the sound with "pd -rt".

I do this with Linux, I don't know if it works on other systems.

Yes, it is kind of raw programming packaged with a few graphical boxes and some string, that's what is nice about it, you can do whatever you like.

But there is a lot more documentation besides the wiki, you can start here maybe:

http://www.pd-tutorial.com/

or here

http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData

Also on the program itself if you press ctrl+b you get lots of example patches and every object (graphical box) has a help file showing how to use it and giving some example, just right-click and choose help.

If you prefer video there are some nice tutorials on youtube like this one:

Good luck.

If you want to use the computer keyboard you can use the [key] object, check the help on that, for the drum pad check the help for [notein]. To send the messages to the DMX you can use [sendOSC] and wtf2osc ( http://www.ohloh.net/p/wtf2osc ). wtf2osc comes with a pd patch explaining how to use.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if I understand completely your problem, but I have used wtf2osc http://www.ohloh.net/p/wtf2osc on Ubuntu Lucid Linux to control DMX via PD it worked very nice.

Yup, the patch is really nice, thanks a lot diplipito!
