I want my input to be grids of numerical data and my output to be a jit.matrix colorfield. I’m putting long lists of numbers into a message box but having trouble segmenting the data (would like my 20×20 jit.matrix to accept data cut and pasted from a 20×20 spreadsheet and have everything land in the same place even if some fields from my spreadsheet are blank).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help

feature request: cellblock loads .csv? :) I know it’s been asked before and is probably a pain… but hey.

I remember someone on here had a clever .js that was able to populate cellblock like this, or maybe it was read cellblock into a .csv, can’t recall…it was a while ago.

Nicely done, Terry! This is an elegant take of the Driftpattern version. I guess I can’t go out of coll to a matrix or jit.pwindow. I know I can use write to create another file and then jit.textfile to bring it back in, but is there a one-step way to go from coll to a 3 or 4 plane matrix?
