So… I want to use Jitter to create objects and distribute them in the visual virtual space, and I need to create matrices with as many locations as objects I want to display.

These objects are to be assigned coordinates and dimensions. Since the objects will be distributed on a circular-like manner, I want to go through each position of the matrix and give it X and Y coordinates.

To address each of the positions of the matrix, (0,0   0,1, 0,2 etc) I decided to create a small routine using Java Script, since I was having problems with the logic in the patcher.

So, the small patch here contains a js object with a Java Script routine in it. This increases its count with every bang it receives, outputing the current values through the first two outlets, and outputing a 1 through the rightmost outlet when the count has reached its maximum.

The format of the counting is binary like, increasing x first until reaching its maximum, then reseting x and increasing y by one, after which x is incremented again until reaching its maximum and so to increas y again by one. This continues until both maximums have been reached.

The dimensions of the count can be modified by sending the message “dim x y” where X and Y are integers.

Binary, And not Binary, Counter

jasch

A suite of over 100 externals extending the MaxMSP environment.

The jasch objects library was first published in 2002.
Since then it has grown to cover such diverse uses as:
- 3D geometry
- curves and splines
- C string manipulations
- DSP functions
- ascii, angle, binary and color conversions
- file system operations
- advanced list operations
- advanced math operations
- patcher scripting
- shorthand objects
- various utilities
- xml composition and parsing

For a full listing of the externals see here.

The library is released under the LGPL v 2. and the sources to the externals are publicly available at the developer site.
