fftinfo~ Reference

Report information about a patcher loaded by pfft~

fftinfo~

Description

fftinfo~ gets info about the fft frames in a patcher loaded by a pfft~. It reports the information when sent a bang or whenever DSP is turned on via a dac~ (fftinfo~ only functions within a pfft~).

Examples

fftinfo~ reports information about the FFT subpatcher in which it is located

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

Causes the FFT window size, the FFT frame size (i.e., the signal vector size inside the patcher loaded by pfft~), and the FFT hop size to be sent out the object's outputs.

signal

Reports the FFT window size, the FFT frame size, and the FFT hop size of the signal network to which it is connected.

Output

int

Out left outlet: The current FFT window size specified by argument to the pfft~ object.

Out middle-left outlet: The current spectral frame size (half the FFT window size).

Out middle-right outlet: The current FFT hop size (i.e., the window size divided by the overlap).

Out right outlet: The full spectrum flag. It indicates whether or not the spectral subpatch of the parent pfft~ object is processing the default half-spectrum FFT frames, or full (mirrored) FFT spectrum frames.
