[PD] getting [inlet~] to accept data

[Jonathan Wilkes]

It doesn't look to be much different atm.
In fact, I can't even figure out how subpatches actually reorder their inlets and outlets when you add new [inlet] and [outlet] objects inside them.  I have anobject in Pd-l2ork called [draw group], which is essentially just a subpatchwith an inlet-- to set graphical attributes-- and an outlet-- to receive eventnotifications.  Thing is, my extra outlet will appear as the leftmost outlet when Iload the patch, while my extra inlet will always be the furthest to the right (likewith the pointer inlet in [append].)
Looking at the reordering code for inlets vs. outlets, I can't see any obviousdifferences.

 I worked on this for a while in 2008. A big part of the problem is that the architecture for first/main inlets is quite different from generic inlets, which do not respond to both signals and messages. [inlet~] does (or at least is supposed to) promote floats to signals, but it won't pass other kinds of messages; and it seemed like too deep a problem to be solved without a pretty serious overhaul. This was a number of years ago and things may have changed since then, but I don't think so (though I'd be glad to be wrong).

I was wondering about that too! After a quick search in the mailarchives I've found this discussion from 2008: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-06/062895.html @IOhannes: What's the state now? How difficult would it be to make an [inlet~] external which, for example, passes signals to a left outlet and all messages (also floats!) to a right outlet. Or which passes everything it receives and then you could use [route~] from zexy to separate signals from messages?   Gesendet: Freitag, 18. September 2015 um 12:49 Uhr

Betreff: [PD] getting [inlet~] to accept dataMany objects (ie. [osc~]) have a sort of a hybrid inlet which accepts both signal and data input. However, the [inlet~] object seems to reject data. If I wanted to build an abstraction with an [inlet~] that accepts both signal and data, is there any other way?_______________________________________________ Pd-list at lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
