gen.codebox~
Generate native audio signal processing routines
Description
The gen.codebox~ object is a UI object for display and editing of GenExpr code to be converted into signal processing routines of optimized native machine code.
Arguments
None.
Attributes
bgcolor[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's background frame.
linenumbers[int]: 1
Show lefthand column containing line numbers for non empty lines.
linenumberwidth[int32]: 20

style[symbol]:
Style
textcolor[4 floats]
The default textcolor (typically overridden by syntax coloring)
autoexport[int]: 1
Automatically export code on edit. Equivalent to sending the exportcode message every time an edit is made. Please note that in order for this to work properly, the following must be true: audio must be on, a previous manual export must have occurred, and a valid value for the exportfolder attribute must be set.
cpu[float]
Reports cpu usage as a fraction of available compute time, if cpumeasure is enabled.
cpumeasure[int]
CPU monitoring must be enabled for cpu to work.
gen[symbol]
Gen patcher name to load from disk
dumpoutlet[int]: 0
Enables an additional "dump" outlet for diagnostics, such as reading the cpu attribute.
exportfolder[symbol]:
Folder to export code into. Used by the exportcode message to determine what directory to write source files into.
title[symbol]
Set patcher title.
nocache[int]: 0
The nocache attribute, with an argument of 1, recompiles the Gen patcher regardless of whether another instance of Gen has already compiled it. When set to 0 (default), Gen caches previous compiles to save on load time.
poll[int]: 0
Enable attribute polling
exportscriptargs[symbol]:
Post export script arguments
exportscript[symbol]:
Post export script
exportnotifier[symbol]:
Receive object name to receive export notification
exportname[symbol]:
Export Filename

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]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
JS Painter File
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
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]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 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]
write-only
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]
write-only
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]
