i saw a tutorial on using mxj.<br>
This is what i want to do: get data from PD and send it to another java<br>
application which is waiting in the background. Is this possible using<br>
mxj/pdj ?<br>
</blockquote>
It's possible even without pdj: Just use a network connection to send the data<br>
along. Either make one up with netsend in Pd and some socket programming in<br>
Java, or use the OSC standard, where you might even find some ready made Java<br>
libraries.<br>

The big difference is whether you want your java app to insert itself in the message stack or not: if you use pdj, your java app can send messages before the message to pdj is considered done with. This is depth-first execution. But if you have a [netsend] to talk to a java app and a [netreceive] to receive the replies, ... a [netsend]/[netreceive] pair counts as a kind of [delay] of some unspecified amount.</blockquote>
<div><br>i didnt get this part:::--> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> thus the messages to [netsend] are considered dealt with much before the app really does anything with them.<br>
<br>
So if you really need depth-first execution order, you have to use pdj.</blockquote><div><br>i think you guys will be best to judge if i explain my application: I have to run pd+gridflow and then run the program multiblob-for-gridflow. then take the data(centres of the crosses obtained, extent of blob and other data) to a java application(whose purpose is to collect this data from pd .) The java app is on teh same machine, so how do i use [netsend]?<br>
<br>thnks for your time,<br>Sisil.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br><font color="#888888">
