[PD] understanding vline~

[marius schebella]

yea, there is no explanation of the syntax.
the first number is the value that you want to go to.
the second value is the duration it takes to go to that value and the 
third nmber is the time when to start with the action.

99 1000 5000 means go to 99 in 1000ms but wait for 5000 ms before you start.
the problem is, if you send another message
0 500 1000 before the 5 seconds of the first message passed then it 
overwrites the first message and goes to 0 after 1 second. (and if you 
were at 0 nothing happens.)

the message in the help patch should go to 1 over a duration of one 
second, then jump to zero after one second and then ramp up again 
starting after 1 second (counting from the time when you clicked).

marius.
