I've just been given a project where I have to display iterative 

zeros (and after the other, every second) on a screen unless 

something happens, in which case I need to display a 1 and stop. My 

problem right now is that while I can [metro 1000]-->"append $1" to 

jit.gl.text2d, I cannot get newline to work.

I've been searching the archives and I can only find a post in 2003 

http://www.synthesisters.com/hypermail/max-msp/Nov03/8085.html

This solution implements 'newline' by truncating through a jit.concat 

object, but I can only get 2 lines, and of course "append $1" doesn't 

I see also from the archives that someone asked about doing newline 

in gl text with javascript and jit.gl.text3d, but couldn't find any 

Has anyone done this? I would really appreciate any comments at all, 

I can't seem to crack this. Below I attach my draft patch, which uses 

the 2003 solution but just doesn't go any further.

You can do it with the jit.str objects, which take regular symbol 

text and convert them to char matrix data, which will display with 

heres a quick patch that will even interpolate between text files

(xfade) and display in GL land.

nice patch vade, thx. (four years later!)
