I have a few basic questions relating to drawing basic shapes (and maybe a few not so basic ones) using sketch/openGL. First and for most I need to know the basic principles on how to draw circles and arcs. I have looked at the jitter tutorial concerning sketch, and I see how to draw triangles and squares, and the derivatives there of, but how about basic circles and arcs? Also, I need to be able to draw basic representations of wave shapes as lines, such as a sine wave from one point to another based off the frequency of A cycle~ object. This line needs to reflect realtime change also... quick response would be awesome, as I am on a school deadline.

I see a lot of views but no answers yet... :( I thought this would be an easy question...

If it makes it any easier, This is the project that we are doing..

I have finished most all the synth part, but now I need some guidance on the visuals.

I own Max/MSP/Jitter full versions, am a great Max/MSP coder (did the synth part all by my self) just need some direction on the shapes and lines...

I managed to draw a circle using gridshape, but I still need some guidance on the lines that connect to the "output" I'm sure it would have some thing to do with bessel functions, just not sure on how to implement them, or how the to translate openGL scripting into jitter objects as I noticed it's not the same...

even some points to web sites that give some direction would be awesome....

for circles check the jit.gl.sketch helpfile, all availble shapes are there.

its a bit hidden but look into [P cmdlist_commands] for how to manage your

drawing of shapes. you might find ti easier to use js,java or lua to manage

you can convert audio waves to graphics in several ways. i use jit.gl.graph.

then capture that to a texture and slap on a plane.

run a search on any o f the objects i mentioned and you will get further

help. goodluck and hope you get something nice to show./

exactly what I was needing, thanks a million! will let you know how it goes.

ok, so now I have a basic understanding of rendering audio into the jit.gl.graph, but now how can I map this to a texture of a plane? I have tried to a couple of ways, but to no success... here is my basic start for the graph part.

Any help would be awesome, just basic guidance of getting it onto the plane would rock, I know how to move them around and stuff..

Is there any other way of capturing to texture without having the 

various individual gl objects capturing to each of their own 

jit.gl.texture? This can be cumbersome if the goal is to amalgamate 

My hope was to capture multiple gl objects (IE: say as a dumb example, 

jit.gl.model, jit.gl.nurb, jit.gl.mesh) all to one texture? I get 

error messages, which is probably the answer. ..

yeah, use them all in a jit.gl.sketch and capture them then.

you map something to texture using the @capture attribute.

do a search for "sketch cmd_list inherent blend" in the archives.
