I was looking to make a fun Jitter example that layered an arbitrary multiple of a keyed image on top of itself.

In trying to actually carry this out I've ended up having to use scripting to create a bunch of jit.gl.layer objects that take the output of jit.chromakey against fully transparent stream.

Maybe I'm just prejudice, but I always feel I'm wielding Max wrong once thispatcher and scripting gets involved. Am I missing some incredibly obvious approach here?

Am I right in saying the that jit.gl.multiple is to jit.gl is kind of like what 

Also, it seems that it isn't just a case of using jit.gl.multiple, but there is also a bit of wrangling with get a jit.matrix of the right shape, which is why you use jit.gen.

Using a jit.matrix with expr messages I thought would be equivalent, but this demonstrates, at least for me, that approach is far choppier than using jit.gen

Before I go too far down a rabbit hole with this. Would a "best practice" approach be to keep a matrix with static dimensions then simply enable / disable the relevant multiples?

Thats grand, thanks very much Rob.
