function (graphical breakpoint function editor)

Branic's icon

I am trying to think of a possible solution to starting and stopping the line output of a function graph. I want to be able to start at the beginning of the output values, then stop part way through with another bang then continue with another bang, exactly at the spot where I stopped.

Is there any way to use the output X value to alter a '$1' in a message to restart the function at an X and Y value point which is not the beginning?

thanks.

Off the top of my head, maybe try storing the output you generate with function in a buffer~ then it is easy to play it back any way you wish.

Try the 'pause' and 'resume' messages to line~.

Buffer~ can be used to do this, but pause and resume is what I was hoping for.

I was was trying to implement the start/stop through function rather than thinking of how to start/stop the data output after it had left the object. I appreciate your responses.

Thank you Christopher and Roth.

If you use sustain points in your [function] object you can use the "next" message to step through them.
