outputting a js object into a function
Hi,
I want my javascript code to build an X,Y description for a function's input. However I can't seem to find a format that the function will recieve. The only format the function reacts to is if i give only one argument i.e single X and a single Y inside a list.
This is a problem for me and the funny thing is you can do it no problem with a message. The format with a message is: "x0 y0, x1 y1, x2 y2 etc..". Needless to say the same line would now work once oulet from a js script.
Thanks in advance,
Elad.
It shouldn't be a problem. Just send multiple two-item lists in immediate succession. (That's what a message with commas such as "x0 y0, x1 y1, x2 y2" is doing.)
function draw()
{
outlet(0, "clear");
outlet(0, "setdomain", 1);
outlet(0, 0., 0.);
outlet(0, 0.1, 1.);
outlet(0, 0.3, 0.5);
outlet(0, 0.8, 0.4);
outlet(0, 1., 0.);
}
that's possible although it complicates a lot of things for me. It would be amazing if I could just send out the list. Perhaps there is a max object (not JS) that can break down the list for me?
Yes. See the zl object ("zl iter 2" or "zl group 2"). But beware of odd numbers of items in your lists. (You can use the "zlclear" message to zl group 2 to protect against that.)
