Cast long matrix to char in javascript environment?
Hi,
I am trying to convert a jitter matrix of type long (1 plane) to type char within the javascript environment. (The values in the long matrix have already been conditioned to 0-255; that is not the issue.)
Easy enough in a patcher, but how to perform this 'cast' in javascript?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
bd
outlets = 2;
function bang()
{
var ml = new JitterMatrix(1, "long", 10, 10);
var mc = new JitterMatrix(1, "char", 10, 10);
mc.frommatrix(ml);
outlet(1,"jit_matrix",ml.name);
outlet(0,"jit_matrix",mc.name);
}
// or in a more dynamic fashion
function dynamo()
{
var ml = new JitterMatrix(1, "long", 74, 74);
var mc = new JitterMatrix();
mc.adapt = 0;
mc.planecount = ml.planecount;
mc.type = "char";
mc.dim = ml.dim;
mc.frommatrix(ml);
outlet(1,"jit_matrix",ml.name);
outlet(0,"jit_matrix",mc.name);
}
Joshua-- thank you.
