I know this may sound obvious, and I read some thread about it in this forum, but I would like to know for sure how to position gridshapes in a simple way within an orthographic world in Jitter.

What I would like is to have Jitter behave like in Pure Data's GEM, perhaps with different coordinates. The point (0.0, 0.0) would be in the center. Let say I want the point (0.0, 1.0) to be at the top of the window, in the center, and the point (0.0, -1.0) at its bottom. The top-right corner would be (1.7777, 1.0) in a window with a 16:9 size ratio, or (1.3333, 1.0) if it's has a 4:3 size ratio. This kind of system is quite handy when one simply wants to draw shapes in a 2D world with sprites and the likes.

Now, please tell me: what is the right combination of attributes for the jit.gl.render and the jit.gl.gridshape to achieve this? Here is my guess, but it's not right:

I would also like to achieve the same thing within jit.gl.node contexts, so any hint regarding that as well is much welcome. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,
I know this may sound obvious, and I read some thread about it in this forum, but I would like to know for sure how to position gridshapes in a simple way within an orthographic world in Jitter.

* jit.gl.gridshape: @transform_reset 0
* jit.gl.render: @ortho 1
* jit.gl.render: @camera 0 0 2

I would also like to achieve the same thing within jit.gl.node contexts, so any hint regarding that as well is much welcome. Thanks a lot!

what you want is simply @ortho 2 on your jit.gl.render object (or jit.world).

hi aalex.
what you want is simply @ortho 2 on your jit.gl.render object (or jit.world).


please allow me to ad my related issue into this tread.

how is it possible have control about the animation (e.g. turning of cylinder)

In my Patch are more specific coments and questions...

Start and Stop on a certain point.

I would appreciate your Help very much!
Thank you, Gammon
