[PD] More Gem help for Blockhead-Me please?

[B. Bogart]

Look at the help in CVS

I think its on Chris's page at: (may or may not be up to date)

http://taproot.dyndns.org/~cgc/downloads/GemHelp_050503.tgz

As for pix_data I think you can get at all pix_ data.

To get the gemwin buffer into pix_ land try pix_snap.

chain (e.g. from the rasterization frame) or if it only works with objects
like pix_video?

map that onto a cube that fills the screen, and read pixeldata from that,
but as I dont have my camera now, I want to test my patch by moving a cube
around in 3-space and testing the fields of pixels the patch is looking at
in the window. I cant get any data from pix_data with a white cube sitting
right in the middle of the window.
