[GEM-dev] automated drawing in gem?

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hi!
Otherwise, use pix_set, or so. Of course, there could be some kind of
QuickDraw-like (tm Apple computer) commands in an object, or an object
to which we can send OpenGL-like commands, such as Jitter's
http://www.cycling74.com/documentation/jit.gl.sketch ... I might be
interested on making one some day. We will see if I get some free
time... :)

Actually, I am more interested in a Lua wrapper, from which we could
use the OpenGL functions which would be rendered in the same render
context than Gem's. Would it be easy? ClaudiusMaximus has started a
wrapper for Lua, and I wonder if that would be easy to do. Wesley
Smith has done the jit.gl.lua external ( see
http://www.cycling74.com/twiki/bin/view/Share/WesleySmith ) which
extends really well Jitter. It is not free (neither is Jitter), but it
is a proof that adding some script language to a dataflow software
makes things way easier when trying to make complex animations !!
Calling OpenGL functions in text is nice, you know ! Way faster than
using pd messages.
