minmax~ Reference

Compute minimum/maximum signal values

minmax~

Description

minmax~ computes the minimum and maximum values of an input signal and outputs signals which are the maximum signal and the minimum signal as well as outputs of the minimum and maximum floats.

Examples

Find the hi/low peaks of a signal

Arguments

None.

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.

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 floating-point values corresponding to the minimum and maximum signal values out the 3rd and 4th outputs.

reset

Resets the current minimum and maximum values to the default (0).

signal

In left inlet: signal to be evaluated for minimum and maximum values.

In right inlet: A non-zero signal value will reset the current minimum and maximum.

Output

float

Out 3rd outlet: When minmax~ receives a bang message, a floating-point value which corresponds to the minimum signal value received since startup or the last reset message is output.

Out 4th outlet: When minmax~ receives a bang message, a floating-point value which corresponds to the maximum signal value received since startup or the last reset message is output.

signal

Out 1st outlet: Signal value which corresponds to the minimum signal value received since startup or the last reset message.

Out 2nd outlet: Signal value which corresponds to the maximum signal value received since startup or the last reset message.
