jit.gl.cornerpin Reference

Map textures in a window

jit.gl.cornerpin

Description

Provides controls for mapping textures and matrices to an output window by repositioning the image corners. Mouse input is received from the context window allowing for easy manipulation of corner positions.

Examples

Map textures in a window

Discussion

This object requires one argument: the name of a drawing context. A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.window, jit.pwindow, or jit.matrix object that has an instance of the jit.gl.render object associated with it. Additionally it can reference the name of a jit.gl.node sub-context. This value may also be set via the OB3D drawto attribute. If no argument is present, the object is implicitly added to the first valid drawing context or sub-context found in the current patch or by searching up the patcher hierarchy.
