In Jitter tutorial 31, it’s shown how an OpenGL scene can be rendered to a jit.matrix destination by using the drawto message. The jit.gl.handle object allows direct mouse manipulation of an image along any of the x,y,z axes as well as its rotation on a jit.window or jit.pwindow. This isn’t possible on a jit.matrix. Although the jit.matrix can receive an image that is moving it can’t seem to receive an image that is being directly manipulated.

Is there a way of showing the direct mouse manipulation in the jit.matrix? For example is there a message similar to drawto which could copy output which is being rendered to a jit.window onto a jit.matrix?

You could send messages on to the object in question bypassing 

jit.gl.handle. See the Jitter3DUtils.js and max mailing list examples 

that discuss using these mehtods for performing handle like 

functionality in the absence of jit.gl.handle.

jit.gl.sketch glreadpixels or jit.desktop. Both of which are covered 

in the jit.gl.render-tomatrix.pat example patch.

Thanks for the pointer. It looks like I've got a lot more learning to do...
