out_name attribute of jit.pack

Hi there,

in order to fully understand some of the example patches, could someone point me towards some doc for the jit.pack @out_name attribute, can't find it within the help.

seems to indicate that jit.pack merges plane input with existing matrix data, correct ? such as in the jit.gl.render.grid example

cheers, nick

I have the same question, it's been years and it is not documented yet.

out_name is an argument to [jit.pack] as it is with all Jitter Matrix Operators: it is the name given to the output matrix, check that with a [print] object at the output of [jit.pack].
In [jit.pack] Reference page, you'll find this argument under "More about Matrix Operators", then "MOP Attributes".
[jit.pack] just creates a multi-plane matrix out of several single-plane matrices (or other multi-plane matrices if you use the @jump attribute). Nothing special about its out_name attribute.
