"Lineto" to LCD question.
Hello,
I'm on Tutorial 11: Procedural Drawing, and I'm confused.
There's a "Lineto" going to the LCD (example 2), and it has 7 arguments. On all the LCD reference material, the Lineto message only is supposed to supply 2 arguments.
So my question is how are the 3rd through 7th arguments handled by LCD? Thanks.
Dean.
probably an error.
"lineto" does not support color, and if it would be color it would either be 1 or 3 numbers but not 2. :)
No, you don't understand. This is coming from the patcher in Tutorial 11. A working patcher.
It's example 2 from the patcher, there is a "lineto" message going to the LCD with actually 7 arguments. The first 4 arguments are numbers, the last 3 are zero.
All the references to "lineto" say it takes only 2 arguments. My question is how are the next 5 arguments handled if given more than 2 arguments?
It's not an error, because it's coming from the Tutorial used to teach Max 8, and it's a working patcher. Thanks.
"It's not an error, because it's coming from the Tutorial"
yeah, you wish. :D
sure it works - but it also works when you disconnect the inputs 3 and 4 to the [pak] object.
the rest is just ignored. normally it should throw an error message.
