its the normal FFT stolen from one of the demo patches (the one that makes a spectrum snapshot), combined with a HSV2RGB subpatch, and a few lines of Tk to add a line of pixels to an image

its sp.wid and sp.pd in this dir:

cvs -d :ext:ix9 at pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co extensions/gui/ix

if you also need [widget]:

 cvs -d :ext:ix9 at pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co externals\
 cd externals/build && scons

i just tested all this w/ 0.41-test04 and it works (SCons even still builds all the externals w/o failing - kudos to whoever didn't delete that :)


i reckon it could probably be sped up by replacing some of the list ops with newer stuff from 0.41, and replacing HSV2RGB with the one from GEM..at the time i couldn't get GEM compiling due to some autotools issue.. oddly it took about 2% CPU on windows, and 25% CPU on a computer twice as fast on linux, if taskmgr and top can be believed, respectively..
