mc.evolve~
Description
The mc.evolve~ object accepts breakpoints consisting of ranges where both the domain and range go from 0 to 1. It maps this set of ranges across the space of a multichannel output signal, where the first channel in the output signal outputs the low end of the range and the last channel outputs the high end. Connect a phasor~ or another time-varying signal to mc.evolve~ to drive the output.
Examples
Arguments
chans [int]
Sets the number of channels in the output multichannel signal.
Attributes
chans [int] (default: 4)
The number of output channels can be reduced from the value specified by the object's argument; in this case extra outputs will be zero and the output range will be spread over a smaller number of channels.
inclusive [int] (default: 1)
Determines how endpoint values are taken into account when calculating values for each output channel.
Possible values:
0 = 'Neither'
(
Ignore Endpoints
)
Use neither the low or high endpoint values when calculating mc channel values.
1 = 'Both'
(
Use Endpoints
)
Use the low enpoint value for the first channel and high endpoint value as the last channel when calculating mc channel values.
2 = 'Low Only'
(
Use Low
)
Uses the low endpoint value for the first channel and calculates all other channel values accordingly.
3 = 'High Only'
(
Use High
)
Uses the high endpoint value for the last channel and calculates all other channel values accordingly.
Common Box Attributes
annotation [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background [int] (default: 0)
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer.
adds the object to the background layer, removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.color [4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface [int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname [symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize [float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'

'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hidden [int] (default: 0)
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]
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]
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]
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.
