this may well be the wrong place to ask about this but does anyone know why certain MGraphics functionality has simply been 'changed' ?

The console is clogged with messages such as this one

jsvg_get_size behavior has changed. viewbox X/Y offset unused. color_palette.svg viewbox: 4294967247 0 1181 4294968426

After a long spell of settup a lot of v8ui code to support neat SVG-rendering many of them now appear scaled, compressed, deformed — all because 

This has been implemented in the latest version of Max.

Is this going to be fixed again or am I to expect such changes with any odd update now? Very hard to predict what's going to happen next I am now having to revisit all of my code to scale all vector graphics correctly — in all of my projects.  Unless this will be fixed again. Will it ?

This really ain't good! What am I missing ¿?

MGraphics: jsvg_get_size behavior has changed WHY ?

i am facing a problem with the ParameterListener in v8, which is driving me nuts. 

When I freshly create widgets and bind a parameter listener to it, everything works fine. The callback function gets called and the silent mode (setvalue) is working.

After saving and reloading, the binds are missing which seems reasonably, since they had been created and stored in the v8 script. After binding them again, the nightmare starts. All callbacks seem to be called twice! The silent option is no longer working. I don‘t remember how, but I even managed to break the patch in a way that some callbacks are even called up to four times.

I assume, there must be an orphaned reference to the maxobject from the first binding which magically gets resurrected, after binding the maxobject again. This could explain the erroneous silent behaviour as well, if the resurrected listener would ignore the silent property. 

Unfortunately.  there seems to be no function to remove all callbacks from a maxobject.

Did someone encounter the same problem and found  a solution? After endless hours of trying I‘m really desperate.

Hello! I wrote a JS tool that sends initial values of all mapped parameters back out to a MIDI controller as CC messages. This can be pretty useful if your controller responds to MIDI input (i.e., motorized faders, LEDs, etc.). I've tested it with my Midi Fighter Twister, and it works pretty well.

You can find the script as a GitHub Gist 

. It does use modern JS syntax, so you'll have to use 

 function will send out all mapped values when the patch is opened, or you can send a bang to 

 to manually trigger the output. Connect the outlet to the leftmost inlet of 

P.S. I'm also wondering if there's a (not too hacky) way to send out current values of all mapped parameters. I'm getting the initial values by directly reading the .maxpat file, but the current values are not stored in the file as far as I understand. Suggestions welcome!

I'm just a bit curious what happens when I fill a variable with an array (e.g. myArray [0 0 0 0]), and then print this to the Max window via post(). The result is: 0,0,0,0

Whereas if I go back out v8 > print it comes out as expected e.g. 0 0 0 0.

I must be missing something. I can't find how to access the arguments of a Patcher object in javascript. I would expect the Patcher object to have a method such as getArgs() or a property args, but I can't find anything like it. There seems to be no real answer to this on the forum either.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hey folks, I am getting node js error that I was hoping someone could help me with.

const Max = require('max-api');

Max.post("\n=== Test Complete ===");

But as soon as I import another js file, node does not like the require directive. I get the error listed below,

import { Sequencer } from './sequencer.js';

const Max = require('max-api');
const seq = new Sequencer();


Max.post("\n=== Test Complete ===");

Can someone please help me sort this issue out.

- sharing a jsui for displaying multichannel waveforms with optionally displaying a soundfile from disc

- a question about how to use task() to put the disk-reading into some deferlow mode:

the reading-from-disc here is done with a hidden buffer~ object (in the patcher) that

reads chunks (600samples) of a (maybe large) soundfile in a loop into a js-array.

i failed to do this in background so that the mouseaction is not blocked while redrawing the waveform.
