poltocar
Convert polar to cartesian coordinates
Description
Converts a polar-coordinate pair consisting of distance and angle values into a cartesian-coordinate pair consisting of real and imaginary values.
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]: 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'
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]
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 poltocar to output the very last conversion it has calculated.
int
Converted to float .
- coordinate
[int]
float
In left inlet: The distance portion of a polar coordinate pair to be converted into a Cartesian coordinate pair consisting of real and imaginary values. When used in an audio context, the value represents magnitude (amplitude) portion of a polar coordinate pair to be converted into a cartesian (real/imaginary) coordinate pair.
In right inlet: The angle portion of a polar coordinate pair to be converted into a Cartesian coordinate pair consisting of real and imaginary values. When used in an audio context, the value represents the phase portion of a polar coordinate pair to be converted into a cartesian (real/imaginary) coordinate pair.
- coordinate
[float]
Output
float
Out left outlet: The real portion of a Cartesian coordinate pair.
Out right outlet: The imaginary portion of a Cartesian coordinate pair.
