Description
Use the bitor~ object to perform a bitwise "or" on two incoming floating-point signals as either raw 32-bit data or as integer values. The bits of both incoming signals are compared, and a 1 is output if either of the two bit values is 1. The output is a floating-point signal composed of the resulting bit pattern.
Examples
Arguments
bitmask [int]
Sets the bitmask to be used by the bitor~ object. The default is 0. An integer value can be used as a bitmask regardless of the mode; the binary representation of this integer is the bitmask.
operational-mode [int]
Specifies whether the floating-point signal or floating-point values will be processed as raw 32-bit floating-point values or converted to integer values for the bitwise operation. The modes of operation are:
0: Treat both floating-point signal inputs as raw 32-bit values (default).
1: Convert both floating-point signal inputs to integer values.
2: Treat the floating-point signal in the left inlet as a raw 32-bit value and treat the value in the right inlet as an integer.
3: Convert the floating-point signal in the left inlet to an integer and treat the right input as a raw 32-bit value.
Note: If you convert the floating-point signal input to an integer and then convert it back, the resulting floating-point value will retain only 24 bits of integer resolution.
Attributes
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. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 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'
'13'
'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.
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 [float]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification [int]
Text Justification
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.

Mode Descriptions:
0 - Treat both floating-point signal inputs as raw 32-bit values (default).
1 - Convert both floating-point signal inputs to integer values.
2 - Treat the floating-point signal in the left inlet as a raw 32-bit value and treat the value in the right inlet as an integer.
3 - Convert the floating-point signal in the left inlet to an integer and treat the right input as a raw 32-bit value.
Note: If you convert the floating-point signal input to an integer and then convert it back, the resulting floating-point value will retain only 24 bits of integer resolution.
signal
In right inlet: The floating-point signal to be compared with the signal in the left inlet. The signal can be treated as either a floating-point signal or as an integer.
The raw floating-point signal bit values are expressed in the following form:
<1 sign bit> <8 exponent bits> <23 mantissa bits>
Output
signal
The two floating-point signals or ints received in the inlets are compared, one bit at a time. If a bit is 1 in either one of the numbers, it will be 1 in the output number, otherwise it will be 0 in the output number. The output is a floating-point signal composed of the resulting bit pattern.
