I am trying to understand part of the implementation of a particle system in 'Tutorial 46: Manipulating Matrix Data using Javascript' , however I have found that the tutorial seems to be missing text.

Part of the tutorial describes summing the content of several planes of a jitter matrix into a single other matrix by using '

' instructions. The tutorial reads 'First we copy plane 

It looks like there is text missing from the first sentence. How '.planemap' can be used to select a plane from a given jitter matrix to then overwrite it with a given plane from another jitter matrix using '.frommatrix()' is not clear from the tutorial .

Would it be possible to find (or make) an updated version of the tutorial with the missing text or is there a succinct explanation for how a particular plane of a given matrix can be copied into particular plane of another matrix without overwriting any other planes of the matrix in MAX MSP / Jitter with javascript? Is there another tutorial on this or on using '.frommatrix()' in the MAX / Jitter documentation?
