I'm receiving base64 PNG files from an http request - I'd like to convert these to Jitter matrices, presumably in node.js. I'm currently saving them as files (see

There are surely lots of node modules to convert from base64 to rgb numbers or image files. 

I don't think Node in Max has any idea what a jitter matrix is, so you either output the image as a list of rgb numbers, or you let node save the image into your hard drive and then read it back with a jitter matrix

Hey John! 

There are surely lots of node modules to convert from base64 to rgb numbers or image files. 
I've found this one for example: 
https://www.npmjs.com/package/base64-img

Indeed. It would be nice to see more of the Max js API available in node.js

Yes, that's what I'm doing - it works, I just find the temp files inelegant :)
