If you want a circle it is good to go over the formulas for circles…
pi(3.14) X r(squared) etc. and the pythagorean theorum… x(squared) X
y(squared) = z(squared)

You can limit your panning by calculating the radius.

There is a quad panner that comes with max as well as others online.
Is there a reason you are making one?

patch for calculating radius:

jsui is probably the way to go nowdays, but if you like oldskool max,
you can go the lcd way like in the cartopol helpfile, or use a
combination of transparent button and pictslider:

I’ve already built the panner. What I need is something that reflects
visually that I am dealing with a circle and not a square – like the panners
in Digital Performer surround mixer.

Nice one!

Sorry, I thought you wanted to do the calculation not the display…

Here is my solution for the display. I added speaker placement for my
patch. You could make the lcd bigger and have a wider display of the
circle.

Cheers,

Carey

That doesn’t exactly solve the display issue, but I think it may make
it easier to get there.
