'Wrapping' A Matrix

David Butler — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:01:15 +0000

I have a 512 long value matrix storing data which I want to arrange into 16 rows of 32 values for display in a pwindow. Is there a better/more efficient way to do it than this?

Thanks. Is there going to be any kind of performance increase, or other advantage to doing it that way? Both methods have pretty much the same frame rate when I tested them at very high speed.

you can also check out jit.scanwrap.

Aha, jit.scanwrap is just what I was looking for! Thanks.

I swear half the problem with learning Max is that it’s really hard to find the specific object to do something you can easily explain in words. Maybe that’s an idea for an addition to the help files, a list of objects by ‘task’ in addition to just ‘type’ and A-Z listings.

when you first create a new object, hover over the left edge. You should see a ‘=’ symbol. Click on this to get a list of objects by function.

You can also see similar lists for Max, MSP and Jitter on the front page of the Help documentation.
