I think the Plot class should do the conversion. That kind of thing should be transparent to clients.

But every plot-able Class does need to be converted differently. Env needs to go through an asSignal->as(Array) process, where Buffer-data needs to be grabbed from the Server, and FloatArrays are ready to go. Doesn't it make sense that Env:plot should look something like this?

plot {

var data;

data = this.asSignal(400).as(Array);

^Plot(data, ... etc.... )

}

Let me know what you think. Otherwise, the Plot class itself would need to check for every case, and that seems like un-needed overhead. Env knows it's an Env, and what needs to be done to it before plotting (imo).

Best,

Josh

I wasn't clear enough... what I meant is, you should be able to plot Array, FloatArray, Signal, Wavetable etc. transparently. Really the better solution there is to get SCSoundFileView to accept subclasses of Array as well. That is, this...

if (!isKindOfSlot(slots+0, class_array)) return errWrongType;

... should also permit class_floatarray, class_doublearray, class_signal, and possibly the class_int*arrays as well.

Obviously something like Env must convert itself before passing the data into .plot :)

Yes... Though Wavetable is the tricky one here (it probably needs to ignore every other slot).

Hi all,

More work on this tonight. Between the type problem below, and a lack  
of finding a way to do discrete plots, I decided to start hacking the  
old ArrayedCollection:plot method into its own class. I have no  
problem if others decide to go back to the SCSoundFileView option, but  
I think this will, for the most part, work well. Attached is the  
quickly hacked together attempt, but I think it is on the right track.  
Data can now be changed, as well as minval and maxval (more later).  
Some clean-up is also in order. But... below are a few examples.

I MAY have more time tonight and over the next couple of days to work  
on this... it depends more on how my wife's body holds up... we are a  
month out from our daughter being born, but she has been having  
contractions on and off all day (which, while the wait is on to see  
where things go, coding SC classes is a good way to keep distracted!).  
If I suddenly drop out of the picture for a few days though... you'll  
know why.

Perhaps more later...

josh


a = Plot.new(Array.fill(200, {2.0.rand2}), minval: -4, maxval: 4,  
discrete: true)
a.data_(Array.fill(200, {2.0.rand2}));

a.minval_(-2, false);
a.maxval_(2, true);

a = Plot.new(Signal.fill(200, {2.0.rand2}), minval: -4, maxval: 4)
a = Plot.new(FloatArray.fill(200, {2.0.rand2}), minval: -4, maxval: 4)

b = Buffer.read(s,"sounds/a11wlk01.wav");

// not pretty!
b.loadToFloatArray(action: { arg array;
        {Plot.new(array)}.defer
        })

// looks better... but takes some time!
b.loadToFloatArray(action: { arg array;
        {Plot.new(array, discrete: true)}.defer
        })

More updates on the possible Plot situation... see the examples below,  
and the changes to the attached classes. I've been on this for a few  
hours today, but may have some time tomorrow. Time to stop  
procrastinating and start composing...

James - I'll start thinking more about zooming etc. next.

Best

a = Array.fill(200, {0.0.rrand(1.0)});
b.data_(b.data * 0.5).minval_(-1.0).maxval_(1.0).discrete_(true);


// a stereo buffer... try your own. A dummy plot is thrown up until  
the data is collected
// since the process is asynchronous, BUT we still want the plot to be  
returned so we can
// do things to it later.

a = Buffer.read(s, "sounds/FluteE4.aiff");
b = a.plot;
// takes some time!
b.discrete_(true);
b.data;

a = Env([0, 1, 0], [0.2, 0.8], \sin);
b = a.plot;

a = Signal.sineFill(1000, 1.0/[1,2,3,4,5,6]);
b = a.plot;

a = Signal.sineFill(512, 1.0/[1,2,3,4,5,6]).asWavetable;
b = a.plot;

b.minval_(-3.0);
b.maxval_(3.0);
b.setMinAndMax(-1.0, 1.0);

// broken... damn it
{SinOsc.ar([44, 43])}.plot
