I am working on a project to realize here in Paris with the use of MAX/MSP/JITTER.

At the moment I am preparing the graphical part.To explain a little bit, what I am trying to do: I am tracking the movement of a lightened spot and output its position with the jit.findbounds object. With the given coordinates I would like to draw a line, e.g.: if the spot moves in a circle, I would like to draw the movement as a line on another display.

I tried to create a path with jit.gl.gridshape, but actually in this object are only geometrical bodies and I would need just one point in form of one pixel to create the mouvement.

I relly would like to post the patch I have created already, but unfortunately I am new in MAX and I can't even open a posted patch in form of a text in Max :S !!

Well, anyway... I am doing quite well for a beginner, so I really would appreciate some help!

Sorry for posting nearly the same message twotimes! I have problems with my internet-connection for the moment (like usual here in Paris, ggrrrrrr...)

so maybe I found out the problem already myself:

I was going on with the jit.gridshape -object and just played around with the different sizes of the sphere and also some mathematical calculations changed the image in a possitive way.

But if somebody has a better idea to 'draw' lines by given coordinates, please post to this topic!

Also I found out, how to post the patch (look at the end...)!! To explain it: the webcam catches the movement of the two lights, calculates the coordinates and draws the lines finally in the "inky"-window.

So only one question left for the moment:

How can I open a patch sent to this forum in text-style?

P.S.: I am a windowsXP-user, and the webcam is still a USB-cam, but not very much longer...
