I read the data of a image in Java using a ContourFinder.

I process this data so i have columns with 2 values, the min y position and the max y position for each column as normalized values (I can also get them not normalized).

I want to send this data to max with OSC along with an id.

Later it will become even more complex but i think this is a good start.

If it helps i can explain what the advanced thing is as well.

What would be a good format to send this?

I'm really new to this.

You wrote, "I want to send this data to max with OSC along with an id."

Therefore, you have already answered your question "What would be a good format to send this?". You said the format is OSC.

If so, there are objects like udpsend, udpreceive, jit.net.send, and jit.net.receive.

CNMAT has the free OSC-route and odot objects.

Are you asking how can Max receive OSC?

What more specifically is your question?


I understand that your question is how to send osc from java. is that right? there are a few good libraries out there. the one i use most is this one:

it's a very straight forward implementation. only a few lines of code necessary...

Sorry i should be more descriptive, i was very tired when i posted. I'm still, i work around 15 hours a day lately :(

My graduation is next week and my project is quite ambitious. I have really a lot done, i made a suitcase that can be turned into a table.

Then you can draw with markers on it and i get the shapes with a contour scanner. Those shapes i want to convert to sound.

I have more advanced problems, but I will post them in another topic with more explanation.

But for now, how do i send an 2d array for example?

I'm really good in java but Max is kind of new to me.

I can use it but i'm still on the skill of a beginner.

Should I do it like {x,y},{x,y},{x, y}
And if so, how do i unpack that?

The question you ask is very vague. IT is important that you first make some choices on the source of your data, the destination of your data. For example, I have no idea what you want to do with that data in Max...so I don't know what to do with that "{x,y},{x,y},{x, y}" data Max could receive.

Perhaps read about JSON. JSON can be used in Java, javascript, and Max. The help files in Max can help you with JSON. There are also many posts on these forums about it

If you have a series of x and y values...you could send them on a big list of data. You will always have pairs. COnsider though, if you need to know HOW MANY pairs of data so that you can prepare something in Max to hold that data.

I recommend you spend some time thinking about the format of what you want send...and then think about what you are doing to do wiht it in MAx. Perhaps JSON and the dict objects in MAx can help. With more information we can assist also.
