[PD] GEM: how to help myself

that's the blur amount, which basically sets how much of the image is 
copied back to the feedback buffer.  currently the range is from 0 to 
255, although maybe floats from 0 to 1 makes more sense.  also, the 
object should probably be called pix_motionblur anyway.

lots of the latest CVS stuff isn't documented yet, and at some point 
the documentation will catch up to the coding.  for now you can look 
at the code to see what the messages and inlets do by going to the 
bottom of the .cpp file and look for 
class_addmethod(...gensym("blah")).  in the case of pix_blur, the 
message is simply "blur" and sending a message like [blur 200( to the 
object will set the blur value to 200.

>Thanks for any help.

sure.  thanks for bearing with us during development.  as always, 
anyone is free to write up docs, help files and tutorials for GEM. 
you will earn lots of appreciation from GEM'ers around the world for 
your efforts.
