I am trying to create a cube where each of its plane is playing a 

different movie/image. I have read that I need to wrap the images 

after combine them in a matrix and then apply this to my cube. The 

problem I am having is, I don't know how I am going to re-set the 

dimension of this matrix fred, so that I can fit this open cube shape 

exactly in the matrix and wrap it properly to my cube.

also I welcome any comments on optimization and everything literally!

there are a few issues in your patch, let's sequence...

- matrix fred is automatically being resized to qt.movie dimensions, because 

matrix by default adapts to input matrix dimensions. So, every fred should 

- but, with adapt 0, freds dims default to 1x1, so you have to properly 

initialize freds dimensions,type and planecount. According to dstdimends in 

your current freds, size of your fred should be 288x216, but because your 

method of texturing(and plato) requires square textures, fred should be at 

least 288 pixels wide, 288 px tall. Just add somewhere jit.matrix fred 4 

- this change in size will require you to adjust dstdim*, to move whole 

thing down a bit(middle row should be centered). Checkout picture in 

jit.gl.plato help patch, 'p texture_maps' subpatch, notice that images are 

square, and that 6 images for cube are centered in that square image.

- as of optimization: remove all pwindows, never place them in 'processing 

ok, I have to admit that all this was just from looking at your patch, I 

didn't actually do the stuff I suggested. Instead, I created patch taking 

another approach, without the need to combine matrixes. This approach 

creates 6 videoplanes, and forms a cube. Same method can be used to generate 

cube by jit.gl.sketch, and numerous other cube recipes...

I learned lots of new things both from your comments and your code.

wow, thanks nesa!
