Is there a way do draw a number of line_strip segments using one single matrix going into jit.gl.mesh?

In other words, have e.g. the first 10 (0-9) elements of a matrix make up one line, the next 10 (10-19) another line without points 9 and 10 being connected?

I believe this works if you do a 2D matrix. Each row should be a new line.

I think you can do this with a 3 plane matrix and set the 3rd plane to 0 this would create a line with plane 1 and 2 setting the x y location of each vertex. Vertex arrays are just counted through from the start so if your matrix is 2 * 2 or 8 * 8 it shouldn't matter. its like unrolling them into a message via jit.spill.

Does anyone have the time to do a quick example patch here? I'm having a hard time grokking :/

Here's a reduced patch of what I'm aiming at. Now there's only 1 linestrip, but I'd like to have more, preferably controlled with 1 single matrix (since that's where the data comes from and not from what is now in the patch below a jit.noise).
