[PD-announce] Lots of changes to msd-editor

[Frank Barknecht]

Hi,

just a short announcement to tell you, that my data structure editor
for networks of physical models using the mass/spring/damper externals
developed at La Kitchen now has reached a quite useable state, IMO.
The latest version is still only available in the Sourceforge-CVS at
pure-data.sf.net in the directory /externals/nusmuk/msd2D/editor and
you better make a complete checkout of the nusmuk dir to run the
latest versions of msd2D and msd3D as well. 

Some highlights of msd-editor: 

* graphical creation of two- and three-dimensional msd structures
  inside Pd. 

* Visualisation using either data structure animation or GEM. 

* Export of msd* message as textfiles to use without the editor. 

* Two geometric primitves help with creation of networks: Circles and
  rectangles

* Various ways to create links: "Left to right", "all selected
   masses", "one to many"

* Documentation!

The latest changes were checked in some minutes ago, so anonymous
checkouts should be up to date tomorrow.

The editor can be abused as a demanding benchmark for data structures
btw.

Swing on,
--
