Description

Use the click~ to create and output an impulse which can be used as an impulse-trigger.

Examples

Discussion

The click~ object is sample-accurate when Scheduler in Audio Interrupt is enabled. More details here.

Arguments

wavetable-values [list]

Optional

A list of floating-point values in the range 0.0-1.0, can be used to specify an impulse (i.e., a small wavetable) whose length is determined by the number of list elements. The maximum size for the list is 256 items.

Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.

hint [symbol]

Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.

ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)

Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.

jspainterfile [symbol]

JS Painter File

patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)

Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.

position [2 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.

presentation [int] (default: 0)

Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.

presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.

rect [4 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).

size [2 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.

textcolor [4 floats]

Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.

textjustification [int]

Sets the justification for the object's text. Possible values:

0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'

varname [symbol]

Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.

Messages

bang

Sends an impulse out the click~ object's outlet. The default impulse consists of a single value (1.0), followed by zero values.

int

Arguments

scale [int]
Sends an impulse scaled by the value of the number.

float

Arguments

scale [float]
Sends an impulse scaled by the value of the number. The default impulse consists of a the value of the input number followed by zero values. If an impulse wavetable has been defined with the set message, the values in the table will be scaled by the input.

set

Arguments

wavetable-values [list]
The word set, followed by a list of floating-point values in the range 0.0-1.0, specifies a impulse (i.e., a small wavetable) whose length is determined by the number of list elements. The maximum size for the list is 256 items.

signal

A signal will trigger clicks on zero to non-zero transitions.

Output

signal
