[PD] Graphics generation

[CK]

hi willem,

I read:

good

> Anyone got a distro recommendation for this kinda thing?

I avoid starting a flamewar, but I guess best supported would be
debian (a lot of people here use it, there's lots of packages in
demudi/agnula) or you could for planet ccrma 
(http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) which is redhat
based.
generally I'd recommend to use what someone in your neighborhood who 
you can call late at night is most familiar with (if you consider your-
self a newbie).

sorry to say that but gridflow with pd is absolutely _not_ usable yet.
(I wish it was) but there is also pdp (http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp/)
which works fine and has some objects to convert between sound/bitmap and
vice versa.
 
regards,
