outputting a js object into a function
Aug 13 2012 | 7:47 am
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.

(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.); }
