scaling the matrix
« on: Nov 25th, 2003, 10:26pm » |

hi over there,
could somebody be so kind to explain me how to
scale, rotate, zoom the created "rect.pattern"?
this code just draws (maybe even not that) the
rects, and i dont know how to really have these
objects to work with further.
that would help me a lot.
thanks

hi christian,
you can perhaps enclose scale() and/or rotate() within push() and pop(). you might also want to store the inputs in an array of sorts so that when you do the translations, you can redraw everything.
looking forward to your typewriter with sound  have implemented sound before but not using sonia...

cheers,

hi martin
this is not about a sound typewriter,
it is part of basic studies in
a project about how to map sound.
so as far as i am not a programmer but
a designer, i sometimes need
to get some code advice. thats it.
so if you want to, might you help me a bit,
i have little experience with lists in director,
no experiences with handling arrays in p5.
thanks christian

thanks for the links, martin.
an idea was to map percussive and classic music:
so that a synchonicity (rigth?) can be produced for
an plus of understanding structures.
the advantage was to recognize complicated structures
of compositions, for percussion, the growing rhythmic
patterns should be interesting. mainly, i am in the
conceptional phase of the project rigth now, so these
are first ideas. i think theres a lot to do in this
direction...
greets
christian
ps: .pps is poor power point format, isnt it?
unfortunately,i have to "borrow" it first
somewhere....
