jit.lcd color message problem

bluelemur's icon

hello everyone,

maybe it's a stupid question, but I wanted to have clarifications about the jit.lcd color message. In the description it says "set the current pen color to the value specified by the color index argument". I don't understand which colors it refers to since you can't put more than one value and can't put 3 values like an RGB or similar. Does it refer to a color palette? If so, how to see it and change it?

Thanks, happy patching

documentation is missleading.

At least in Max 8.

jit.lcd has no color-index argument.

Max has fixed color palettes and dynamic - that live palette.

none of them are used in that color message.

whatever that color message relates to, it contains 256 colors,

starting with zero = white and ending with black = 255.

here for testing :
