After not getting mat3 functions to work in jit.gl.pix I've decided to give making shaders in jit.gl.slab another go.

So all i want to do is this (code from the book of shaders), hello world :)

    vec2 st = gl_FragCoord.xy/u_resolution;

    gl_FragColor = vec4(st.x,st.y,0.0,1.0);

I just want to get the normalized co-ordinates (the green yellow representation)

I cannot find anywhere a clear example on how to get pixel co-ordinates and the resolution.

So I've gone through the "Your 1st shader tutorial", nothing.

I've gone through the documentation of jit.gl.slab, nothing.

Finally found the "The JXS File Format" in reference , nothing.

How hard can it be to add a part to the manual like " incoming texture size is "dim" (like in jit.gl.pix) ? or cell in codebox ?

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/GLSLangSpec.Full.1.10.59.pdf

doesn't even include the sampler2DRect function.....

So after getting over the initial learning curve of max and jitter (after a few years now) I am coming to the conclusion that the documentation and examples for jitter, jit.gen and jit.gl.pix are just seriously so outdated and not maintained.

In the last week I have spent more time trawling forums for basic information (thats pretty much present in most other software that works with graphics) and hitting deadends than getting actual results.

More than a few people in the jitter forums here have asked for such a long time for some clear examples with jit.gl.pix functions (in the context of jitter) , an updated manual etc etc..

I'm still using the gen manual from the beta...

I've had faster results with getting shaders to work in unity because theres crystal clear documentation. (and that was hard but all the info was there so i got it working )

I started with that a few weeks ago, but I'd rather stay in Jitter.

If i go to shadertoy I click a tab , voila, i see the declaration to get the dimensions and cell co-ordinates.

Its frustrating because a lot of these things don't work the way they normally would because they work within "max/jitter", I think it's great that things like snippets and ease of us have been introduced since max 7 but theres still so much basic info missing that I sometimes feel only the developers of cycling 74 can know how to make them work.

It was announced i think almost two years ago that matrix rotation mat2 mat3 and mat4 would come to codebox/jit/gl/pix.

Still nothing. People don't normally write their own mat3 function, its a basic part of glsl.

I love jitter, the hard work of cycling 74, I really do, that's why I've stuck with Jitter for years now. But I have deadlines, appointments and information thats missing from jitter just stops me progressing.

I know its quite a rant but I'm typing it in the hope that something gets done with what I'm saying.

Now I'm gonna go back to trying to build my own mat3 function in jit.gl.pix and leave jit.gl.slab code for while till I can just find the information I need.

I don't know about you, but when I get syntax errors in shaders, they're mainly in the XML tags. This happens because syntax problems in this part of the shader aren't well reported in the Max console, and thus, it's very easy to misspell some words and get crazy trying to find where the mistake is (at least for me...).

I edit my shaders in Sublime Text, and for the reasons above, I decided to put together and share a package that highlights jitter-specific syntax in Sublime Text.

 (if you haven't already). You can find the software at 

. Just download the correct version for your OS and install it.

Open Sublime Text, then go to "Tools" -> "Command Palette..." in the menu.

This message should confirm the success of the installation.

. Open again the Command Palette, type: "Package Control: Install package", and press Enter

, then  type "GLSL" and click on "OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL)."

4) Editing the default GLSL syntax highlighting. 

Once again, open the command palette, type "Package Control: Install package", press Enter, then type "packageResourceViewer", and press Enter.

For the last time, open the Command palette again,  type: "packageResourceViewer: Open Resource", and press enter.

Then scroll down and select "OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL)."

and finally, select "GLSL.sublime-syntax."

This should open a document. Leave it open and go to the next step.

Copy and paste the text over GLSL.sublime-syntax.zip

As the title suggests, unzip, open the file, select everything, and copy. Then, go back to the file GLSL.sublime-syntax, still open in Sublime Text, select and delete everything, and paste. Finally, save this modified version, overwriting the original.

If everything works correctly, whenever you open a .jxs, .jxp, or .glsl file, it should look something like this:

Note: If you must return to the original GLSL syntax package, download it again.

I hope this package can be helpful for you as it is for me. 

No longer stupid syntax errors in the XML tags!
