jit.gl.render 'z' question
Oct 06 2015 | 2:10 pm
I'm sorry, I'm very new to jitter.
I try to have an interface which shows me x,y,z values. So I'm taking a circle and when the z value increases, the circle should become bigger and visa versa.
I made a patcher, using 'jit.gl.render PLUS jit.window PLUS jit.gl.gridshape'.
Everything works fine but because it is 3D, my circle not only increases but 'comes closer' when raising the z value.
Is there a possibility that the size of the circle increases WITHOUT changing its position in space?
The problem is: when I'm at the corner of my jit.window and I increase z, the circle comes closer and 'disappears' out of the jit.window.
There are so many commands and I don't know which one to use to prevent that.
Thanx for helping.

- Oct 06 2015 | 5:04 pmif you want to fix the "disappearing" circle, adjust the @near_clip attribute of jit.gl.render or jit.gl.camera, otherwise make your circle bigger using the @scale attribute.
- Oct 06 2015 | 5:08 pmHey Rob, thanx a lot...there is not much comment about the 'near-clip' in the references. I try to figure it out. Super... Peer
- Oct 06 2015 | 5:42 pmHey Rob, could you please send me a little example-patcher ? i don't get it. the @scale attribute is no option because the dimensions are changing proportional with that.Thanx Peer

- Oct 07 2015 | 3:34 pmHey Phiol, thanx a lot. Honestly, I knew all that and it is not I was searching for BUT that's not at all your fault cause I just asked a stupid question for which there is no answer. I was trying to have a 2D object in which I can change the size of the circle I'm using. So I thought that I can use jit.gl. for a 2D graphic with a so called 'z' which changes the size of my circle without changing the position of it. Intelligent, isn't it ?Briefly I wanted to pay with Dollars although I only had Euros in my pocket if you understand. It took me 10 hours to come to this point, but well, that's how life is ;-) Thanx anyway.Cheers Peer
- Oct 07 2015 | 4:30 pmuse the @ortho attribute for jit.gl.render, you can change it to orthographic and use the lens angle instead of the "z" parameter which is now unusable. In this way you should achieve what you're looking for, but obviously you're gonna lost the "real" perspective.
- Oct 07 2015 | 10:51 pmHey Franz, if I use @ortho 1 for jit.gl.render my z axis is 'switched off'. But then I have to @lense_angle -or so to say a message box lense_angle $1- to the jit.gl.render object...and the result: it doesn't solve the problem. Did I do sth wrong? -> see patcherThanx so much Peer
- Oct 08 2015 | 4:54 pmI really can't figure out what you're trying to achive. Your last patch works good, except for the "lense" typo.
- Oct 08 2015 | 11:12 pmHey Franz, sorry, you are right...now it works :-) Fantastic !! Thanx so muchCheers Peer
- Oct 09 2015 | 7:29 amThis is finally the patcher which does exactly what I want. No lens_angle needed - @ortho 1 is just fine to solve the problem. Thanx to all of you.Cheers Peer
- Oct 09 2015 | 6:11 pmGreat! Glad to be useful :) I think you can mark the topic as [SOLVED]best,Franz
