-<h2>
-<u>Basic Objects</u></h2></center>
-
-<p><br>There are a number of objects which are the foundation for GEM.
-These objects are used in every patch and control the graphics and rendering.
-<p><a href="#gemwin">[gemwin]</a> - The window manager
-<br><a href="#gemhead">[gemhead]</a> - The start of a rendering chain
-<br><a href="#manips">manips</a> - Move an object in the window
-<br><a href="#geos">geos</a> - Render a shape
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="gemwin"></a>[gemwin]</h3>
-The graphics window is created and destroyed with the <i>[gemwin]</i> object.
-With the <i>[gemwin]</i> object, you can set the default size of the graphics
-window, create and destroy the graphics window, turn on and off rendering,
-etc. All basic GEM patches will have the following <i>[gemwin]</i>
-object with these messages:
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="gemwin.jpg" BORDER=1 height=128 width=78></center>
-The create and destroy messages will display and remove the graphics window.
-The 1 and 0 messages start and stop rendering.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="gemhead"></a>[gemhead]</h3>
-The <i>[gemhead]</i> object is the start of every rendering chain.
-A simple patch, which is located in examples/gem_basic/gem1.redSquare.pd
-looks like:
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="redSquare.jpg" BORDER=1 height=138 width=91></center>
-
-<p>This patch will render a red square. The <i>[gemhead]</i> object
-signifies the start of rendering. The <i>[color]</i> object sets the color
-for all objects after it in the chain. The <i>[square]</i> object renders
-a square into the graphics window based on the current color, texturing,
-and transformations. In this case, there is no texturing and no transformation.
-<p>Every rendering chain <b>MUST</b> start with a [gemhead]. If you
-do not put a <i>[gemhead]</i> at the beginning of the chain, then nothing
-will be rendered for that part of the patch.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="manips"></a>manips</h3>
-In the patch 01.basic/02.cube.pd, the <i>[translateXYZ]</i> object is
-introduced.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="basicCube.jpg" BORDER=1 height=133 width=93></center>
-
-<p>The graphics are transformed and moved by the <i>manipulator</i> objects,
-or the manips. GEM has the following manips:
-<p><i>[color]</i> - set the color with a vector
-<br><i>[colorRGB]</i> - set the color with 3 discrete values
-<br><i>[rotate]</i> - rotate with an angle and vector
-<br><i>[rotateXYZ]</i> - rotate with 3 discrete values
-<br><i>[scale]</i> - scale with a vector
-<br><i>[scaleXYZ]</i> - scale with 3 discrete values
-<br><i>[translate]</i> - translate with a vector
-<br><i>[translateXYZ]</i> - translate with 3 discrete values
-<p>To understand the difference between the vector and discrete values
-version, realize that everything in is defined in 3 dimensions. These
-dimensions can be XYZ values, or RGB colors.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="transXYZ.jpg" BORDER=1 height=92 width=201></center>
-
-<p>The two translate objects above will do exactly the same thing in a
-patch, but they provide two different ways to do it. <i>[translate]</i> accepts
-a scalar and vector. <i>[translateXYZ]</i> accepts three floats which
-specify a point in space. The manips will transform any object which
-appears after it in the rendering chain.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="geos"></a>geos</h3>
-Up above, we saw the <i>[square]</i> and <i>[cube]</i> objects. The other
-primary geos are:
-<p><i>[square]</i> - render a square
-<br><i>[circle]</i> - render a circle
-<br><i>[triangle]</i> - render a triangle
-<br><i>[cube]</i> - render a cube
-<br><i>[sphere]</i> - render a sphere
-<br><i>[cone]</i> - render a cone
-<p>The <i>[square]</i>, <i>[circle]</i>, <i>[cube]</i>, and <i>[triangle]</i> objects
-have a right-hand inlet to set the size of the shape. The default
-size is 1.
-<p>The <i>[cone]</i> and <i>[sphere]</i> objects are not perfectly smooth.
-They are actually composed of a number of polygons. In order to control
-the rendering better, the middle inlet is the size of the object, while
-the right-hand inlet is the number of slices to define the shape.
-Take a look at the patch gem_basic/gem3.sphere.pd to see how the number
-of slices can change the look of a sphere. Don't worry about the
-<i><a href="Lighting.html#world_light">[world_light]</a></i>
-object, it is just there to make it easier to see the difference in the
-number of slices. Make sure to click the 'lighting 0' message before
-closing the patch (if you don't, then other patches will probably be completely
-black until you quit and restart pd/GEM).
-<p>Your graphics window should look like this for 5 and 15 slices:
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="sphere5.jpg" BORDER=0 height=150 width=150><img SRC="sphere15.jpg" height=150 width=150></center>
-Obviously, the more slices that you use, the better the sphere looks.
-However, each slice adds more polygons, which can slow down your frame
-rate. In computer graphics, there is always a trade off between resolution
-and speed.

-<u>ANSWERS</u></h2>
-<a NAME="General"></a><h3>GENERAL</h3>
-<br><a NAME="1.1"></a>1.1) What is GEM?
-<p>GEM is the Graphics Environment for Multimedia.
-It was originally written by <a href="mailto:mark@danks.org">Mark Danks</a> to generate real-time computer
-graphics, especially for audio-visual compositions. It originally ran under
-FTS/Max (which is why you might see some papers reference it), but all
-new development is under Pd.
-<p>You can get GEM at <a href="http://www.iem.at/GEM">http://gem.iem.at/</a>
-<p>GEM was sponsored by a grant from Intel (<a href="http://www.intel.com">http://www.intel.com</a>)
-<p>GEM was ported to <a href="http://www.linux.org">linux</a> by <a href="mailto:geiger@xdv.org">G&uuml;nter Geiger</a>
-<p>GEM is now maintained by <a href="mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at">IOhannes m zm&ouml;lnig</a>.

-<br><a NAME="1.2"></a>1.2) What is Pd?
-<p>Pd is a real-time environment for audio and MIDI.
-It was written by <a href="mailto:msp@ucsd.edu">Miller Puckette</a>, who created FTS/Max when
-he was at IRCAM. Basically, Pd can be seen as the next generation
-of real-time visual programming languages. GEM runs inside of the
-Pd environment.
-<p>You can get Pd at <a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html">http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html</a>
-<p>Pd is sponsored by a grant from Intel (<a href="http://www.intel.com">http://www.intel.com</a>)
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="1.3"></a>1.3) What platforms do GEM and Pd run on?
-<p>GEM and Pd run on Windows (95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP), linux and macOS-X (&gt;10.2).
-SGI-Irix (&gt; 6.2) used to be supported but i don't have any prove that it still works).
-<a href="mailto:geiger@xdv.org">G&uuml;nter Geiger</a>
-has done an initial port of GEM and Pd to Linux <a href="http://gige.epy.co.at/">http://gige.epy.co.at</a>).
-<p>GEM is now maintained by <a href="mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at">me</a> and
-developed by a team of several independent programmers (see <a href="1.1">section 1.1</a>)

-<br><a NAME="1.7"></a>1.7) What is a good intro to OpenGL?
-<p>The best book is the <u>OpenGL Programming Manual</u>
-by Mason and Woo. This is also called the "Red Book". If you search
-the web, there are many sites on OpenGL. A good starting point is
-<a href="http://www.opengl.org">http://www.opengl.org</a>.
-Also, Mark Kilgard (who used to work for SGI) has a wonderful site with
-lots of links (<a href="http://reality.sgi.com/mjk">http://reality.sgi.com/mjk</a>)
-Also, Normal Lin has written another great book on <u>3D-graphics under linux</u>
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="1.8"></a>1.8) Are there any web sites for Pd or GEM?
-<p>Except for the ones noted above, there is the Japanese
-installation page at
-<br><a href="http://www.rinc.or.jp/~kotobuki/gem/index.htm">http://www.rinc.or.jp/~kotobuki/gem/index.htm</a>
-<p>There is a Pd mailing list. Subscription info
-is on IEM's site <a href="http://www.iem.at/mailinglists/pd-list">http://www.iem.at/mailinglists/pd-list</a>
-<p>One of pd's unofficial home-pages is at <a href="http://pd.iem.at">http://pd.iem.at</a> hosted by the
-<a href="http://iem.at">Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, Graz, Austria</a>
-<p>Also hosted by the <a href="http://iem.at">iem</a> is the site of the pd-community
-<a href="http://www.puredata.info">http://www.puredata.info</a>
-<p>An interesting place might also be G&uuml;nter Geiger's size <a href="http://gige.epy.co.at/">http://gige.epy.co.at/</a>
-<p>there are lot's of other cool pages (search the net...)

-<br><a NAME="1.10"></a>1.10) Are there any restrictions on GEM?
-<p>GEM is under the Gnu Public License. This basically
-means that it will always be free software.Check out <a href="http://www.gnu.org">http://www.gnu.org</a>
-for more information and read the full license in GnuGPL.LICENSE in the GEM release.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="1.11"></a>1.11) How do I use GEM in a performance?
-<p>This is a constant problem, because there is no consistent
-way to display video on any platform. Also, you usually do not want
-to send the entire screen, but only the GEM window. It is also useful
-to be able to edit/control the Pd patch window while the patch is actually
-running.
-<p>On SGIs, the best way is to get a video out option.
-On the SGI O2, Impact, and Onyx (Mark has used all of these), there is a
-simple connector or breakout box to do video.
-If you run the video out program, then you will get a rectangle on your screen
-which shows what is being sent out the video connector.
-Make your GEM window a little larger than 640x480 and center it in the rectangle.
-You can now project this with a standard video projector.
-<p>On PCs it is a bit harder.
-Several modern video-cards have the possibility to output several screens
-(either 2 (or more) VGA-screens or 1 VGA-screen and 1 TV (Composite or S-HVS)
-or a combination with DFTs)
-If you have a Canopus Voodoo2 card it has a video and s-video output on it. As described
-in <a href="#2.12">question 2.12</a>, you can get a Voodoo to work with
-GEM. If any one else has a better solution, please let me know.
-The nVidia Riva TNTs require that you output the full screen, so this is
-not a very good option. You can use a video scan convertor.
-Some of them only display a part of the scene, which is exactly what you
-want.
-<p>With modern multi-headed cards it is more simple:
-Configure your card to display the desktop spread over your multiple screens
-(e.g.: from left-to-right).
-On windows and macOS you can do this via the display-properties dialog.
-On linux you will have to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file either by hand or
-(if your system supports it) via an appropriate editor (yes, nowadays there are some).
-Now create your gem-window on the second screen:
-it should have the same dimensions as the 2nd screen (e.g: "[dimen 800 600(").
-to place it at the second screen use the offset (e.g: if your primary sreen
-(the one you want for patch-editing) has the dimension 1024x768 use "[offset 1024 0(",
-which will create the gem-window 1024 pixels right of the upper-left corner
-of the total screen (and 0 pixels below it),
-which is exactly the upper-left corner of the 2nd screen.
-You most probably want to turn off the borders with "[border 0(".<br>
-<em>Note:</em> some grafix-card have openGL-hardware-acceleration only on the 1st screen
-(so you should create the gem-window on the 1st screen and move
-your patches to the 2nd screen)
-<p>If you are using an XServer for displaying (under linux) you can also use another
-computer for rendering.
-You can specify the place where the gem-window should be created with something like
-"create &lt;<em>render.host</em>&gt;:0.0"
-
-<p>If you are doing audio with graphics, the only solution
-to prevent clicking (<a href="#5.1">question 5.1</a>) is to run 2 computers
-and have them communicate with netsend/netreceive. We are working
-on making Pd/GEM multi-processor friendly, so if you have a multi-processor
-system, you can run everything on one machine eventually.
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="UsingGem"></a><h3><i>USING GEM</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="2.1"></a>2.1)How do I (???)
-<p>Many of the general usage questions are probably
-answered in the manual or release notes. The pd mailing list is also
-a good place to find answers as well.
-<p><a NAME="2.2"></a>2.2) How do I make GEM run?
-<p>GEM is not an executable. It requires Pd to
-work and is loaded in at run time. For example, I have an alias on
-the SGI which does
-<p>/usr/people/mdanks/pd/bin/pd -lib /usr/people/mdanks/pd/gem/Gem
-<p>and on WinNT
-<p>\pdDir\pd\bin\pd -lib /pdDir/pd/gem/Gem
-<p>on UNIX-systems you will probably want to use a <tt>.pdrc</tt> file,
- where you can put the command-line arguments for pd that you "always" need.
-<p>If you don't see a startup message from GEM, then something went wrong.
-<p>Most people use use the command shell to start Pd.
-It is not very difficult to configure Pd to run from double-clicking on the icon.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.3"></a>2.3) Why doesn't GEM run?
-<p><b>Notice that the -lib flag always requires Unix
-styles slashes</b>. This is the case even on Windows.
-<p>You may also want to use the -nosound flag.
-For instance, my PC has problems using audio (it leaks memory), so I just
-turn off the audio part of Pd. However, other people can't get GEM
-to work if the -nosound is used (on Win95). You can also try the
--dac or -adc flags (for digital-analog-conversion only and analog-digital-conversion
-only).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.4"></a>2.4) I've got it running. Now what?
-<p>Try out the manual. It will step you through
-the basics.
-<br> You will also want to look at the example files.
-Assuming that everything is installed correctly, you can get to the examples
-by going to the Help menu in Pd and selecting examples. A bunch of
-the patches should start with gem&lt;something>. The best one is
-<i>gem/01.basic/01.redSquare.pd</i>
-It puts a red square up on the screen and allows you to rotate it. <i>gemImage.pd</i>
-shows how to load in a TIFF file. <i>gem/03.lighting/04.moveSpheres.pd</i>
-moves two spheres around the screen. Try the other ones.
-<br> Most of the GEM objects have test patches which
-give some information about the various controls for the object.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.5"></a>2.5) On IRIX 5.3, why does GEM dump with an rld error?
-<p>GEM only works under IRIX 6.2+. The rld error
-is probably something about not having glBindTextureEXT (or something).
-OpenGL 1.0 has some extensions to speed up texture mapping (which are an
-integral part of OpenGL 1.1). However, these don't exist on IRIX
-5.3. If you recompile GEM (see the next question), things should
-work fine.
-<br> I don't have access to an IRIX machine, so don't
-expect any builds from me. Upgrading to IRIX 6.2+ is worth it.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.6"></a>2.6) Why can't I compile GEM on IRIX 5.3?
-<p>There was probably an error saying that the compiler
-couldn't find the file "dmedia/vl_vino.h" in pix_videoSGI.cpp. IRIX
-6.2+ adds new functionality to the media libraries which makes life much
-easier. You cannot compile pix_video or pix_indycam as is under 5.3.
-You can remove them from the Pix/Makefile and from the linker part of the
-global Makefile. You will also need to recompile the Td and Tiff
-libraries.
-<p>There shouldn't be any problems doing this. I haven't tried any
-of this, so if it works for someone, please let me know.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.7"></a>2.7) Why is GEM slow in general?
-<p>Examine what you are doing. If you are constantly
-changing textures, then this is probably your problem. If you have
-models with a million triangles, then this is probably the problem.
-Compare what you are doing with realistic specs on your system. Some
-systems slow down when they have to draw very large polygons (slow fill
-rate).
-<br> You can also turn on profiling to see how long it
-takes to render a frame. Send a profile message to the gemwin object.
-The number that is printed is the number of milliseconds one frame takes
-to render. 50 milliseconds is 20 frames per second. 'profile 2' is
-good if you want to see how long the image processing is taking.
-<br> profile 0 - turn off profiling
-<br> profile 1 - turn on profiling
-<br> profile 2 - turn on profiling
-and don't cache pixes
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.8"></a>2.8) Why is GEM slow on IRIX?
-<p>If you are having major slowdowns, then please let
-me know. I have gotten very good performance on most machines (Indy,
-O2, Impact, Onyx2).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.9"></a>2.9) Why is GEM slow on WinNT/Win95?
-<p>You probably don't have hardware acceleration.
-You can use software rendering, but it basically useless except for extremely
-basic patches. You can get a good graphics accelerator for really
-cheap these days. I recommend a card based on nVidia's chipsets,
-such as the TNT2 or GeForce, but there are other companies such as 3dfx
-and Matrox. Make sure that you are running the latest drivers for
-your card. The basic drivers that come with the cards are usually
-very bad.
-<br> Also, PCs don't deal with lots of texture maps very
-well (they are bus limited, at least until AGP), so if you are trying to
-use lots of constantly changing texture maps
-(especially with [pix_multiimage], [pix_video] or [pix_film]), that will cause problems.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.10"></a>2.10) Why is GEM slow on Linux?
-<p>It is because you have to use Mesa, which might be
-running iin software. Mesa (<a href="http://www.mesa.org">http://www.mesa.org</a>)
-is an awesome package by Brian Paul (brianp@avid.com) which "emulates"
-OpenGL. Basically, it is a fully compliant OpenGL package, but it
-isn't officially sanctioned by the OpenGL ARB, such, it is doesn't have
-the OpenGL name. There is an acceleration package for the many graphics
-card, but I don't know anything about it.
-<br>nVidia is being very supportive of Linux:
-their TNT2 and GeForce cards work under Linux with hardware-acceleration of openGL.
-(but the drivers are proprietary)
-<br>radeon cards should also be supported very well under linux (even with open-source drivers)
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.11"></a>2.11) If I resize the window, everything looks strange.
-<p>GEM doesn't trap resize events in IRIX or Linux (this
-is not a problem in WinNT). This means that OpenGL doesn't have the
-correct information to render properly. If you want to resize the
-window, send a 'dimen x y' message to gemwin before you create the window.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.12"></a>2.12) Can GEM run on a 3Dfx Voodoo card?
-<p>I (this is: Mark Danks) have a Voodoo2 card, which runs fine under WinNT.
-I use the OpenGL beta driver from 3Dfx at work all the time without any
-problems and, except that the Voodoo takes over the full screen, it seems
-to work fine. You will need to download the OpenGL Beta driver from
-3Dfx's web site at http://www.3dfx.com and put the OpenGL32.dll into the
-same directory as pd.exe (NOT gem.dll). Debugging patches is much
-easier if you have two monitors, one for the 3-D card and one for the 2-D
-card.
-<p>IMPORTANT: You MUST set the environment variable
-<p>GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT = 1
-<p>to make the Voodoo card work. It will make a window 640x480 (which
-is the correct size for TV video out on my Canopus V2 card). On WinNT,
-right click "My Computer" and go to "Properties". On the "Environment"
-tab, you need to add the variable "GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT" with a value of
-1.
-<br>Resizing the GEM window with a Voodoo card is not
-a great idea. The Voodoo card can only display certain window sizes and
-will clip the graphics.
-<p>For the tech heads in the audience...I create an
-OpenGL context at startup and never actually display its associated window.
-This means that GEM objects can create display lists, call OpenGL commands,
-etc. in their constructors, even if no window is actually being displayed.
-However, with the Voodoo card, there can only be one OpenGL context.
-So, instead of creating one context and just holding onto it in the background,
-I create the normal GEM window and associate the OpenGL context with it...and
-the user can never destroy or close that window.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="2.13"></a>2.13) Will GEM support hardware transform and lighting
-(T &amp; L)?
-<p>Absolutely! Unlike some other APIs, OpenGL
-will automatically use hardware accelerated transform and lighting if the
-card has it. GEM gets great performance from cards like nVidia's
-GeForce.
-<p><a NAME="2.14"></a>2.14) I get an error "GEM needs Truecolor visual
-support".
-<p>This error means that your X display is running with
-paletted colors, which is the result of limited color depth. If you
-start the X display with
-<p>startx -- -bpp 16
-<p>or some higher number, then it should work fine. 32-bit color
-is the best.
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="ViewingObjects"></a><h3><i>VIEWING OBJECTS</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="3.1"></a>3.1)Why does everything seem dim?<
-<p>You probably turned on lighting but don't have any
-lights in the world. Either add a light with <i>world_light</i> or
-<i>light</i>
-or turn lighting off by sending a message 'lighting 0' to the <i>gemwin</i>.
-You can also send a reset message to <i>gemwin</i> to set it back to the
-startup state (which doesn't have any lighting).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="3.2"></a>3.2) Why does everything seem dark?
-<p>See question 3.1.
-<br> If you are using <tt>view</tt> in your patch to change the viewpoint,
-you may not be pointing in the correct direction. You also might have translated
-everything outside of the current viewport.
-<br> Also, if you have been using single buffering ('buffer
-1' message to <i>gemwin</i>), then you might still be in that mode.
-Either send a 'buffer 2' message or a 'reset' message to <i>gemwin</i>.
-Then, destroy and create your window.
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="TextureMapping"></a><h3><i>TEXTURE MAPPING</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="4.1"></a>4.1) My image doesn't appear. What is going
-on?
-<p>Normally images have to be texture-mapped onto Geos.
-You have to use [pix_texture] to map the current image onto a Geo.
-"Current" means that any pix-manipulation that is done after texturing will not be displayed.
-<p>Any Geo has a color (which is initially set to white).
-If you have set the color to black, your Geo (including the image) might be very dark.
-If you are using alpha-blending, make sure that the Geo is not invisible.
-<p>Normally images that want to be texture mapped with openGL should have dimensions that are a power of 2 in both height and width.
-Now [pix_texture] will make this totally transparent to you (so normally you don't have to care about the size of the image).
-However with non-power-of-2 images <i>pix_coordinate</i> might not behave as expected,
-because these images need absolute texture-coordinates rather than normalized ones
-(as are used with power-of-2 images): so if the texture-coordinates are set to "(0,0) (1,0) (1,1) (0,1)" you might see only the first pixel of the image (which might be black).
-<p>Also, make sure that GEM can find your image (ie,
-that the path name is correct).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="4.2"></a>4.2) My image looks strange. What is going
-on?
-<p>GEM supports gray8, YUV, and RGBA images. If
-it sees that the number of bits per channel and the number of channels
-is something that it should be able to handle, it tries to load the raw
-data. If you have compressed or stored the pixel data in some "strange"
-format, then GEM will probably not read the information correctly.
-<br> Also, if it is an RGBA image, then make sure that
-the alpha channel is something useful (this only matters if you are using
-the alpha channel, like in the alpha object or pix_mask).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="4.3"></a>4.3) Why does GEM say that it can't handle a gray
-image?
-<p>This error message occurs whenever a pix object receives
-a gray8 image and the implementor hasn't provided a way to deal with that
-format of image. (Implementors often only provide functions for GEM's <i>native</i>
-color-format RGBA. Any other color-format (like BGR) will try to call the function
-for gray8 images, which might not be supported.)
- If you do not want to change the image format with some extern image-programm
-(like Photoshop or the Gimp) you might want to try <i>pix_rgba</a>
-or harass whoever made the object to add the functionality.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="4.4"></a>4.4) What image formats can GEM handle?
-<p>GEM can read in TIFF, JPEG, and SGI images.
-These can be in any color format. Gray scale images are loaded in
-as gray scale (ie, one byte per pixel). Everything else is loaded
-in or converted to an RGBA image (ie, four bytes per pixel). If there
-is an alpha channel, then it will be respected. Otherwise, the alpha
-channel will be set to fully opaque (alpha == 255).
-<p>GEM can write TIFF and JPEG images.
-TIFF-images will be full RGBA-images, wheras JPEG-files only support (compressed) RGB.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="4.5"></a>4.5) What movie formats can GEM handle?
-<p>The movie formats GEM can handle (still) depend on the platform
-you are using.
-<p>On Windoze you can read all AVI-files you have codecs for
-<p>On linux the readable formats depend on the libraries you had installed when you compiled GEM.
-Currently there is (optional) support for AVI, quicktime (*.MOV) and MPEG (*.MPG) files.
-Not all quicktime-formats are supported. This is unfortunate but is due to linux restrictions.
-I highly recommend that you install the mpeg3-library from Heroine because it is much more stable than mpeg1 (which comes with many linux-distributions).
-If you have compiled in support for libavifile, you will be able to open Micro$oft-AVI-files.
-If you have installed the proper codecs
-(libavifile supports a mechanism for loading codecs from windows-DLLs) you should be able to
-open almost any format.
-
-If you have serious problems, mail them <a href="mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at">to me</a>.
-(Be ready to upload the movie-file that won't work)
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="4.6"></a>4.6) Why is <i>pix_draw</i> so slow?
-<p><i>pix_draw</i> is almost never hardware accelerated
-on PCs graphics accelerator. This means that it runs <i>extremely</i>
-slowly. Always use <i>pix_texture</i>, even if you are just displaying
-an image.
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="WorkingWithPd"></a><h3><i>WORKING WITH PD</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="5.1"></a>5.1) Why do I get clicks in the audio?
-<p>If you are getting a constant stream of clicks in
-your audio, then it is probably because you are trying to do graphics and
-audio in the same process. Rendering a graphics frame usually takes
-longer than the size of the audio buffer, which is why you get clicks (the
-clicks are usually at 20Hz...the typical frame rate).
-<br> One way around this is to use two computers, one
-for graphics and one for audio. If you have enough processing power
-(or dual processors), then you can run two versions of Pd, one for graphics
-and one for audio. Just use <i>netsend</i> and <i>netreceive</i>
-to have the two versions of Pd talk to each other.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="5.2"></a>5.2) How do I get audio data to GEM?
-<p>One simple way to get raw audio values right now is
-to use <i>snapshot~</i>. Just set up a <i>metro</i> which bangs <i>snapshot~</i>
-and use the floating point value. If you want "musical" information,
-then use objects such as <i>env~</i>.
-You might also have a look at the <i>pix_sig2pix~</i> which interprets audio-data as pixels
-and its counterpart <i>pix_pix2sig~</i>
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="5.3"></a>5.3) Why can't GEM find an image/model file?
-<p>This means that GEM can't locate the file.
-If you use an absolute path (with / for instance), then GEM will look there.
-Otherwise, GEM will look in the directory of where the patch is.
-Then pd/GEM will search the paths you specified at startup with the <i>-path</i> flag.
-<p>Check the following:
-<p>1) Does the file exist?
-<br> 2) Did you make a typo in the filename?
-<br> 3) Is the file in the search-path ?
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="5.4"></a>5.4) How can I optimize my patches?
-<p>One of the biggest performance hits is having UI
-elements in your patch which have to be updated. The biggest performance
-hog is the number box. While the number box is great for debugging,
-make sure that they are all gone from your "release" patch. If you
-run a performance meter, you will see that whenever Tcl/Tk has to update
-the user interface, it sucks the entire processor. Another examples
-of this is when you move a lot of objects at once, everything jerks and
-slides across the screen. There are probably ways to improve this...
-<br> Another problem is doing unneccessary calculations.
-When you are throwing lots of numbers around, especially packing/unpacking,
-doing vector math, etc., they add up. If the calculations are going
-unused (for instance, that part of the patch is turned off), then do not
-trigger the math objects. Use <i>spigot</i> or <i>gate</i> and block
-the events early. This is especially important with objects that
-send a lot of numbers, like ~ objects or <i>line</i>/<i>tripleLine</i>.
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="NewGemObjects"></a><h3><i>WRITING NEW GEM OBJECTS</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="6.1"></a>6.1) How do I write a new GEM object?
-<p>For the time being, you have to look at the code.
-It is fairly well documented and straight forward (if you know C++ and
-OOP). Start with an object which is similar to what you want and
-derive a new class. The biggest issue right now is how to load in
-GEM as a DSO/DLL. For SGIs, you will need to setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-On NT, you will need to have your path include the directory with GEM.
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="6.2"></a>6.2) What are the default OpenGL states?
-<p>GemMan (and by association, gemwin) disables alpha
-testing, alpha blending, culling, and lighting. Lighting defaults
-to two sided, with GL_COLOR_MATERIAL enabled. The viewport is set
-to
-<p>float xDivy = (float)m_width / (float)m_height;
-<br> glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
-<br> glLoadIdentity();
-<br> glFrustum(-xDivy, xDivy, -1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 20.0);
-<br> gluLookAt(0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0,
-0.0);
-<br> glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
-<br> glViewport(0, 0, m_width, m_height);
-<p>which gives a range of about -4 to 4 in X and Y at the origin.
-This is a small range, but changing it now would break a lot of patches.
-<p>The specific functions to look at are:
-<p>GemMan::windowInit()
-<br>GemMan::resetValues()
-<br>gemhead::renderGL()
-<p>
-<hr WIDTH="100%"><a NAME="ObjectSpecific"></a><h3><i>OBJECT SPECIFIC</i></h3>
-<br><a NAME="7.1"></a>7.1) Why doesn't &lt;object> exist on &lt;platform>?
-<p>Usually, this is because I don't have the resources
-to get the object running on that platform. If an object that you
-want doesn't exist on your platform, then ask for it! However, if
-it is tied to hardware, then it is much less likely that I will be able
-to do anything about it (unless someone donates the hardware to me...)
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="7.2"></a>7.2) Why doesn't <i>gemtablet</i> work?
-<p><i>gemtablet</i> only works on WinNT. I don't
-have drivers for IRIX or Linux (also, see question 7.4)
-<br> If GEM can find the tablet, then it will print a
-message at window creation time. If you don't see a message, then
-GEM doesn't think that you have a tablet.
-<br> The tablet is mapped to the size of the GEM graphics
-window.
-<p>---
-<br><a NAME="7.3"></a>7.3) I don't want GEM to take over my tablet.
-How do I stop it?
-<p>Set the environment variable
-<p>GEM_NO_TABLET = 1
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="7.4"></a>7.4) Why doesn't <i>gemmouse</i> work in IRIX?
-<p>Basically, I don't have physical access to an SGI machine.
-This makes it hard to do some of the OS specific work.
-It should be straightforward to do the event handling, so if someone gets
-it working, I would love to include it (and give you credit). All
-you have to do is call the correct event functions from GemEvent.h and
-everything should just start to work (ie, gemmouse doesn't have any OS
-specific code in it).
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="7.5"></a>7.5) Why doesn't gemorb work?
-<p>You need to make sure that your SpaceOrb is hooked
-up correctly. I am using a library which isn't supported by SpaceTec so
-there can be problems, although I have not had any.
-<br> &lt;RANT> When will companies wake up and actually
-provide drivers and support for their products under WinNT? &lt;/RANT>
-<p>----
-<br><a NAME="7.6"></a>7.6) What is wrong with <i>pix_video</i> in WinNT?
-<p>I haven't completely figured out how to get access
-to the video stream in WinNT. I'm using Video for Windows with a
-Connectix QuickCam, as well as an Intel Video Capture Card, and it seems
-to assume that you are only writing to a file or previewing into a window.
-Windows tries to take over the system and doesn't really provide any stable
-hooks (unlike IRIX). If anyone knows how to deal with this, please
-let me know.

-&nbsp;&nbsp; To use GEM type something like:
-<p>/usr/people/mdanks/pd/bin/pd -lib /usr/people/mdanks/pd/gem/Gem
-<p>(where /usr/people/mdanks is the path to the pd directory). Check out
-the README for Pd to see examples of the -lib flag. If you just try to
-"run" GEM, you will get an error! Notice that last word is a capital Gem.
-If you get a "can't find gem_setup" error, then that is the problem. Look
-in the GEM FAQ
-<br>for trouble shooting suggestions.
-<p>If you don't see startup messages from GEM, then something went wrong.
-<br>Also, you might need to add pd/bin to your PATH environment variable.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h4>
-<a NAME="runWinNT"></a><u>How do I run GEM on Win95/NT?</u></h4>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is best to start Pd from a DOS command line.&nbsp;
-If you go to the Start menu, you should find an application called "Command
-Prompt" under the Program menu.&nbsp; You need to change to the drive where
-you installed Pd.&nbsp; For instance, if it is on your D: drive, just type
-d: at the prompt.
-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To use GEM type something like:
-<p>\pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem
-<p>depending on where you installed Pd.
-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Check out the README for Pd to see examples of the
--lib flag. If you just try to double click GEM, you will get an error!
-Notice that last word is a capital Gem. If you get a "can't find gem_setup"
-error, then that is the problem. Look in the GEM FAQ for trouble shooting
-suggestions.
-<p>If you don't see a startup message from GEM, then something went wrong.
-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most people use the command shell to start Pd.&nbsp;
-It is difficult to configure Pd to run from double-clicking on the icon.
-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, you might need to add pd/bin to your PATH environment
-variable.

-&nbsp;&nbsp; To use GEM type something like:
-<code>/usr/local/bin/pd -lib /Users/zmoelnig/pd/Gem</code>
-<p>(where /usr/local/bin/pd is the path to the pd directory and
-/Users/zmoelnig/pd is the path where the <i>Gem.pd_darwin</i> resides).
-Check out the README for Pd to see examples of the -lib flag. If you just try to

-<h4>
-<a NAME="noRun"></a><u>Why doesn't GEM run?</u></h4>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notice that the -lib flag always requires Unix styles
-slashes, even if you are on Windows.&nbsp; This means that you need to
-do <i>-lib /gem/Gem</i>, not <i>-lib \gem\Gem</i>
-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You may also want to use the -nosound flag.&nbsp;
-For instance, my PC has problems using audio (it leaks memory), so I just
-turn off the audio part of Pd.&nbsp; However, other people can't get GEM
-to work if the -nosound is used (on Win95).&nbsp; You can also try the
--dac or -adc flags (for digital-analog-conversion only and analog-digital-conversion
-only).

-<h2>
-<u>Dealing with Images</u></h2></center>
-Images are files which are loaded into GEM. The images can be manipulated,
-applied to objects, and used in any number of different ways. In
-this section, you will load in an image and display it on the screen.
-This section will not apply the images to a <i>geo</i>; that occurs in
-the next part of the manual.
-<p>The pix objects are GEM objects which deal with <i>pix</i>els.
-They do everything from loading in images to applying filters to the data.
-The objects in this section of the manual only load in pix data from outside
-sources. How you actually display the image is up to you. The
-most common usages are with <i>[pix_draw]</i> and <i>[pix_texture]</i>.
-<p><b>Warning</b>: <i>[pix_draw]</i> is almost always slower than <i>[pix_texture]</i>.
-Because <i>[pix_draw]</i> is easier to use than <i>[pix_texture]</i>, it is
-used in these examples. However, in any real usage or piece, <i>[pix_texture]</i>
-should always be used instead. <i>[pix_draw]</i> is slow because PC
-graphics accelerators do not provide hardware acceleration for that functionality.
-<i>[pix_texture]</i> does have hardware acceleration and will be much faster.
-<p><a href="#pix_image">[pix_image]</a> - load in an image

-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="pix_image"></a>[pix_image]</h3>
-<i>[pix_image]</i> is used to load in images. Images can be in a variety
-of different formats, including TIFF, JPEG, and SGI formats. The
-patch gem_pix/gemImage.pd is the simplest use of the <i>[pix_image]</i> object.
-In this patch, the <i>[pix_image]</i> object loads in the file dancer.JPG.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="pixImage.jpg" BORDER=1 height=180 width=151></center>
-
-<p>As is the case with every GEM chain, this patch starts with the <i>[gemhead]</i>
-object. The next object is <i>[pix_image]</i>, which actually loads
-the image. <i>[pix_image]</i> makes the file dancer.JPG the current
-pixel data, which will be used in all subsequent operations in the chain.
-The <i>[translateXYZ]</i> object is used to move the image around.
-Finally, the <i>[pix_draw]</i> object renders the pixel data to the screen.
-<p>The patch mentions that changing the Z in <i>[translateXYZ]</i> does not
-change the size of the image, as would occur with a <i>geo</i> object like
-<i>[square]</i>.
-This is because <i>[pix_draw]</i> simply draws the pixel at the current raster
-position, without any transformation. If you want to change the size
-on the fly and rotate the image, you need to texture map the pix, which
-is described in the next section.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="pix_multiimage"></a>[pix_multiimage]</h3>
-The <i>[pix_image]</i> object only loads in one image at time. If you
-try to change the image rapidly while the patch is running, you will notice
-a lag every time it has to load in a new file. To avoid this lag,
-there is another object called <i>[pix_multiimage]</i>. If you look
-at patch gem_pix/gemMultiImage.pd, you will see this object in action.
-<p>Basically, the * in the file name is replaced by the number that you
-pass in. This allows you to play sequences of images with random
-access. The one downside is that every image is loaded into memory
-when the object is created, so you need to have a lot of RAM to use it.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3><a NAME="pix_movie"></a>[pix_movie]/[pix_film]</h3>
-These objects are used to read movie-files from disk (or if supported from the internet).
-
-The movie is streamed off of disk,
-using whatever decompression libraries are installed on your computer.
-On Windows AVI movies seem to work fine,
-but there is also a prelaminary support for quicktimes (and mpeg).
-On macOS-X all formats supported by the system (basically: quicktime) should work ok.
-On linux the support is highly depending on what libraries are installed during compile time.
-There is support for MPEG (with libmpeg1 or (preferred:) libmpeg3),
-quicktime (either libquicktime or quicktime4linux;
-most likely you will not be able to decode quicktimes with proprietary codecs)
-and AVI (with libavifile which is able to utilize windows-dlls for (proprietary) codecs).
-There is also some rudimentary support for FFMPEG.
-
-The right inlet of <i>[pix_movie]</i>
-accepts a number to specify the frame to display. Look at 04.pix/04.movie.pd
-for an image.
-<p>A key fact of <i>[pix_movie]</i> is that it immediately sends the movie
-data to OpenGL as a texture map. This means that you do not need
-the <i>[pix_texture]</i> object in your chain. This also means that
-you cannot process the movie data with pix objects. The main reason
-for this is that it removes the need for a copy of all of the movie data.
-If you want to apply some image-processing, you will have to use <i>[pix_film]</i>
-(and <i>[pix_texture]</i> for texture-mapping).
-<p>Some of the geos will not texture map the <i>[pix_movie]</i> data correctly.
-Cone and sphere do not use texture coordinates when they are provided,
-so when you display a movie on one of these objects, you will have a black
-region (unless your movie size is a power of two...however, most movies
-are 320x160 pixels or something). This will be fixed in a future
-release.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="pix_video"></a>pix_video</h3>
-The "image" can come from the <i>[pix_video]</i> object.
-This means that you can use a real-time video source and display it on the screen.
-<p>You can play with <i>[pix_video]</i> with the patches in 04.video/.
-The patches are explained in more depth in the advanced section of the GEM manual.

-<h2>
-<u>Introduction</u></h2></center>
-GEM is the Graphics Environment for Multimedia. It was originally written by
-<a href="http://www.danks.org/mark">Mark Danks</a> to generate real-time computer graphics,
-especially for audio-visual compositions.
-Because GEM is a visual programming environment, users do not need any experience
-in traditional computer languages.
-<p>GEM is a collection of externals which allow the user to create
-<a href="http://www.opengl.org">OpenGL</a>
-graphics within <a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html">Pd</a>,
-a program for real-time audio processing by <a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp">Miller
-Puckette</a> (of <a href="http://www.ircam.fr">Max</a> fame).
-<p>There are many different shapes and objects, including polygonal graphics,
-lighting, texture mapping, image processing, and camera motion. All of
-this is possible in real-time without any previous programming experience.
-Because GEM is an add-on library for <a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html">Pd</a>,
-users can combine audio and graphics, controlling one medium from another.
-<p>GEM is supported in part by a grant from the <a href="http://www.intel.com">Intel
-Research Council</a> for the <a href="http://www.gvm.com">The Global Visual
-Music</a> project of <a href="http://felix.usc.edu/vibeke.html">Vibeke
-Sorensen</a>, <a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp">Miller Puckette</a>
-and <a href="http://www.earunit.org/rand.htm">Rand Steiger</a>.
-<p>An important thing to remember is that GEM is NOT an application.&nbsp;
-It is a library that Pd loads at run-time.&nbsp; Make sure that you see
-the section on <a href="GemWPd.html">using GEM with Pd</a>.&nbsp; This
-manual assumes that you have Pd working correctly and can load up patches
-already.&nbsp; If you do not have that working yet, look at the Pd manual
-and the GEM FAQ.&nbsp; Also, it is assumed that you have a basic understanding
-of how to use Pd and the idea behind the data flow model.&nbsp; In other
-words, if I ask you to pass a message with 3 floats into an object, you
-would know what I mean.
-<p>The system requirements vary depending on your system and what you are
-trying to do.&nbsp; In general, you should have the most powerful computer
-available and the best graphics accelerator on the market.&nbsp; In reality,
-people have been doing some amazing work with a Pentium II and an <a href="http://www.nvidia.com">nVidia
-Riva TNT</a> or <a href="http://www.3dfx.com">3Dfx Voodoo2</a> card.&nbsp;
-If you are on an SGI, then everything from an O2 up seems to be okay.&nbsp;
-The biggest requirement is that you have some kind of OpenGL graphics accelerator.&nbsp;
-This means that a Matrox Millennium II will not run very quickly.
-<p>The other factor is what you are trying to do.&nbsp; Pushing real-time
-video around requires a fast bus, which really only exists on SGIs.&nbsp;
-Doing thousands of texture mapped polygons is great on a PC...if it is
-a constant texture.&nbsp; There are many issues which mean that there is
-no one answer to "Is this system good enough?".&nbsp; In general, you will
-have to try and see.
-<p>GEM is now maintained by <a href="http://www.iem.at/info/personal/jz.htm">IOhannes m zm&ouml;lnig</a>.
-So any bug-reports and donations should go to him instead of Mark...

-<h2>
-<u>Lighting</u></h2></center>
-Lighting is an important factor is how we perceive the quality of an image.
-For example, without lighting and shading, a sphere would just look like
-a circle. GEM provides two types of lights, a local light and world
-light.
-<p>OpenGL uses a vertex lighting model. This means that for every
-vertex in the scene, the influence of the light is calculated. The
-color for the polygon is then modified by the light value of all of the
-vertices. This generally produces a very smooth effect, but you will
-occasionally run into rendering artifacts, especially if you use local
-lights. For example, imagine you have a local light close a large
-square. The corners of the square are far away from the light, so
-none of them will be lit very brightly, even though the light itself is
-very close to the surface of the square.
-<p>It is important to realize that lighting is an expensive operation to
-use. The number of polygons that you will be able to render will
-be much lower if lighting is turned on. As usual, the complexity
-of the scene and the speed of your computer and graphics card will greatly
-affect your frame rate.
-<p>GEM has only a maximum of 8 lights at one time. If you try to
-create more lights than that, you will get an error message.
-<p><a href="#Activate">Activate lighting</a>
-<br><a href="#world_light">[world_light]</a> - A directional light
-<br><a href="#light">[light]</a> - A point light in the world
-<br><a href="#Moving">Moving lights</a>
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="Activate"></a>Activate lighting</h3>
-Lighting is activated by sending a message to <i>[gemwin]</i>. If you
-send "lighting 1", then lighting will be turned on. If you send "lighting
-0", then lighting will be turned off. The lighting state is kept
-even if you destroy the gemwin. This means that if you close a patch
-and open another one, the lighting will still be the same.
-<p>Individual lights can be turned on and off by sending a 1 or 0 to the
-left inlet of the light object itself.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="world_light"></a>[world_light]</h3>
-A <i>[world_light]</i> is a light which exists infintely far away.
-This reduces the computation needed, so your patch can run faster, but
-it means that all of the light rays are parallel. The <i>[world_light]</i>
-is good for objects like the sun and other lighting affects. This
-means that translating a <i>[world_light]</i> has no effect, although rotation
-does.
-<p>The following patch is 03.lighting/01.world_light.pd.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="world_light.jpg" BORDER=1 height=152 width=370></center>
-
-<p>The <i>[world_light]</i> has one extra inlet. The right inlet accepts
-three floats to set the color of the light. A <i>[color]</i> object
-would do nothing. In this case, the light is being set to purple.
-The <i>[world_light]</i> also accepts a debug message. The debug message
-turns on and off a graphical representation of the light in the scene.
-The <i>[world_light]</i> looks like a cone. The cone shows the direction
-that the light is coming from. Remember that the actual position
-of the light does not matter, so geos behind the cone will still be lit.
-It is the direction of the light that matters. This is why you can
-rotate the light.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="light"></a>[light]</h3>
-A <i>[light]</i> object generates a point light in the world. Because
-the light is local to the scene, there is more math to generate the effect
-of the light on the vertices. However, unlike a <i>[world_light]</i>,
-you can translate the <i>[light]</i> object.
-<p>Below is the patch 03.lighting/02.light.pd.

-<p><img SRC="light.jpg" BORDER=1 height=215 width=212></center>
-
-<p>The <i>[light]</i> object has a right inlet for the color, just light
-the <i>[world_light]</i> object. As this patch shows, the light can
-be moved around the scene with both <i>[rotate]</i> and <i>[translate]</i>
-objects. If you were to set the translate X value equal to 1.0, then
-the sphere would not be lit at all. This is because the light would
-be inside of the sphere. When you turn on the debug representation,
-it is a sphere with its origin where the light it. The <i>[light]</i>
-object does not have any size. It exists as a point source.

-<h3>
-<a NAME="Moving"></a>Moving lights</h3>
-The patch 03.lighting/03.controlLights.pd allows you to move a <i>[light]</i>
-and <i>[world_light]</i> object in the same scene to see the difference between
-the two objects.
-<p>The patch 03.lighting/04.moveSpheres.pd is an example which moves
-two spheres around the world. Turn on and off the individual lights
-for a demonstration of a local versus infinite light.
-<p>The patch 03.lighting/05.materials.pd uses the material objects to
-selectively control the color of the object. Notice that the diffuse object
-sets the "overall" color, while the specular objects sets the bright reflective
-area where the light directly shines.

-<h2>
-<u>Image processing</u></h2></center>
-The pix objects are used to do image processing to pixel data. If
-you load in an image with <i>[pix_image]</i>, then you can change what the
-image looks like before rendering it out
-<p>In general, processing images is <i>extremely</i> expensive, so you
-probably cannot have that many active pix objects. GEM only reprocesses
-images when the source image changes or one of the parameters for a pix
-object changes. This means that GEM will only process an image when
-something is different, instead of every frame. If you want to do
-a lot of processing at start up, but then not change anything once the
-patch is running, GEM will only do the computation once.<br>
-Modern CPUs use SIMD (Single Instruction - Multiple Data) (like MMX, SSE2, altivec)
-to make pixel-processing more effective (by processing data parallely).
-Until now, only the macOS version of Gem has support for SIMD for some pix-objects.
-MMX/SSE2 boosts will hopefully come in future Gem-releases.
-
-<p>The pix objects are divided into two general groups, those which take
-one input, and those which require two input images. For example,
-<i>[pix_invert]</i>
-will "invert" all of the pixels (if a pixel is white, it will change to
-black), while <i>[pix_add]</i> will add two images together.
-<p>Only some of the pix objects are described here. Look in the reference
-patches for explanations for the other pix objects.
-<p><a href="#invert">[pix_invert]</a> - invert the pixel data
-<br><a href="#add">[pix_add]</a> - add two pixes together
-<br><a href="#mask">[pix_mask]</a> - create an alpha mask
-<br><a href="#convolve">[pix_convolve]</a> - convolve a pix with a kernel
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="invert"></a>[pix_invert]</h3>
-<i>[pix_invert]</i> inverts the pixels in an image. To use <i>[pix_invert]</i>,
-simply make sure that you have already loaded an image into the chain.
-In the following patch, the fractal image will be inverted.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="invert.jpg" BORDER=1 height=120 width=179></center>
-
-<p>Here is the difference between the fractal image and the inverted version.

-
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="add"></a>pix_add</h3>
-<i>[pix_add]</i> does what you would expect. It adds two images together.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="add.jpg" BORDER=1 height=152 width=305></center>
-
-<p>This patch adds the fractal image with a car image. The processed
-image will often contain a lot of white pixels, because the data is just
-added together. This occurs in the resulting image, shown below.

-<p><img SRC="addResult.jpg" height=257 width=255></center>
-
-<p><br>
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="mask"></a>pix_mask</h3>
-<i>[pix_mask]</i> is used to create an alpha mask from another image.
-In the following example (gem_pix/gemMaskDancer.pd), the fractal image's
-alpha channel is replaced by the dancer image. If the <i>[alpha]</i>
-object was removed, then you would just see the solid fractal image (because
-the alpha channel wouldn't be used).
-<p>In other words, images are composed of a red, a green, a blue, and an
-alpha channel. The alpha channel is the transparency of the pixel.
-
-<i>[pix_mask]</i> only modifies the alpha channel and does not touch the
-red, green, or blue data.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="mask.jpg" BORDER=1 height=262 width=191></center>

-<p>The result is this image.

-
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="convolve"></a>pix_convolve</h3>
-<i>[pix_convolve]</i> convolves pix data with a convolution kernel.
-Basically, you can get really nice effects if you choose the correct kernel...and
-garbage if you choose the wrong one.
-<p>Edge detection is done with a convolution kernel, as is smoothing.
-The biggest problem is that convolving an image is about the most expensive
-operation that you can do in GEM.
-<p>Look at gem_pix/gemPixConvolve.pd to get an idea of some of the kernels
-that you can send to <i>[pix_convolve]</i> and the effects that you can get.
-<p>If you want to learn the math behind convolution, then find any standard
-image processing (or audio processing book, this is just 2D convolution).

-<h2>
-<u>Texture Mapping</u></h2></center>
-<a href="Gloss.html#Texture">Texture mapping</a> is the act of applying
-pixel data to a geometric object. In GEM, this is achieved with the
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object. It is important to understand that the
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object merely sets the pix as the current texture. It does not do
-any rendering! You need to use a geo object which does texture mapping.
-All of the basic geo objects can texture map, such as <i>[square]</i> or
-<i>[sphere]</i>.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<p>A simple example of texture mapping is the following patch:
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="texture.jpg" BORDER=1 height=182 width=160></center>
-
-<p>This patch can be found at 07.texture/01.texture.pd. Change
-the number box connected to the rotate object to see what a texture map
-on a cube looks like.
-<p>The <i>[pix_image]</i> object loads in the fractal image file. The
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object says that the pix data should be used as a texture map. Notice
-that this is different than the previous manual section when we used the
-<i>[pix_draw]</i> object. The final object in the chain is the <i>[cube]</i>
-object. Because we have enabled texture mapping with the <i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object, the cube takes the pix data and applies it to the geometry.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<p>Texture mapping can be used with any GEM object. In the previous
-manual section, you saw how to load in pix data with a variety of objects,
-including <i>[pix_multiimage]</i> and <i>[pix_video]</i>. All of these
-objects can be used with the <i>[pix_texture]</i> object.
-<p>Because the pix data is applied to geometry, you can move, rotate, and
-scale the image. This is extremely useful on the <i>[square]</i> object.
-Instead of doing a one-to-one pixel mapping as occurs with the <i>[pix_draw]</i>
-object, you can resize and reshape the image.
-<p>OpenGL originally required that images must have dimensions that are power-of-2, such as 64, 128, or 256. This restriction has been released with recent gfx-cards
-(like some radeon/nvidia products).
-However, if the width or height of an image is not a power of two,
-then the <i>[pix_texture]</i> object will take care of this,
-and still render it (depending on you hardware with some tricks).
-You can thus texture images of any size, but since this is based on tricking
-the texture-coordinates, <i>[pix_coordinate]</i> might not give the wanted result any more.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<p>The example patch 07.texture/02.moveImages.pd is a much more complex
-patch which uses alpha blending to create a transparent object, in this
-case, the dancer. Make sure to turn on the rotation with the <i>[metro]</i>
-object.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561><a href="index.html"></a>
-<p>People have been asking how textures are handled in GEM. Here
-is a long explanation from an email which I wrote.
-<p><tt> Here is how textures are dealt with under OpenGL and hardware
-accelerators. This can obviously change in the future, but right
-now, I am fairly certain that the info is correct (I make games in my day
-job, so I have vested interest in this :-)</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> The amount of memory (VRAM) on the card (12mb for Voodoo2,
-16mb for TNT, 64mb for GeForce2, etc) is used for both textures (TRAM)
-and frame buffer space. If you have a large rendering window, like
-1600x1200, it will take up 1600x1200x4x3 in 32-bit mode with double buffering
-and a Z buffer (or 23mb). Most people run at TV resolution, like
-NTSC, so it takes 640x480x4x3 = 3.7mb All of the space left
-is for textures onboard the card (FYI, if you have heard that people are
-having problems with the PlayStation2, notice that it only has 4mb of VRAM...not
-much onboard texture space, huh? :-) Thankfully it has an <i>extremely</i>
-fast DMA bus)</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> Sooo, when GEM "creates" a texture, it immediately tries
-to send the texture to the card, which uses some of the left over space
-in the VRAM. If you had a 640x480 window on a Voodoo2, you have ~8mb
-of texture space left over. On a GeForce2, ~60mb. The problem
-is what happens if you want more textures than can fit into TRAM.
-OpenGL requires that the video drivers deal with the problem, so GEM doesn't
-care too much (more about this later).</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> In most cases, the drivers cache the textures in main memory
-and if a texture is requested for rendering and it isn't resident on the
-card, it will download it. If you have AGP, then this is pretty quick,
-although none of 3dfx cards really take advantage of this (ie, those cards
-are about the same speed as the PCI bus). So depending on the number
-of textures, and how complex the scene is, you might be able to display
-more textures than you have TRAM.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> One slowdown that can happen with GEM is that it makes a
-copy of the image before sending it down the chain of objects. If
-you are constantly changing images with a pix_multiimage, this can be a
-performance hit, but you can modify the actual pixel data with the pix
-objects. The pixels aren't sent to the graphics card until the pix_texture
-object is reached.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> GEM tries to help with this with a few objects. pix_imageInPlace
-acts much the same as pix_multiimage, but it downloads _every_ image in
-the sequence to the card when a download message is recieved. It
-also immediately turns on texturing, instead of making a copy (ie, you
-don't need a pix_texture object). Much faster, but not as flexible.
-pix_movie does much the same thing. It sends the pixel data without
-copying it if there is a new frame to display.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> The entire pix system uses a caching system so that the copying
-and processing only occurs if something actually changes. For example,
-if you had a pix_threshold object, it would only process when rendering
-started...and every time that the values actually changed. You can
-use pix_buf to isolate parts which don't change from those that do, but
-it involves another copy.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> On the Voodoo2, the hardware itself limits textures to 256x256...this
-will never change. The newest Voodoo5 boards have a higher texture
-size.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> If you load the _exact_ same image (this means the exact
-same file/path name), then the pix_image has a cache system which means
-that it is only loaded into the</tt>
-<br><tt>computers memory once. However, each pix_image still sends
-its own copy down to the gfx card.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> You could use a single [pix_image]/[pix_texture] with [separator]
-to do this...I have done it a lot in the past.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt> The reason that [pix_image] doesn't share the actual texture
-data is that you can modify the pixel data with other pix objects...[pix_image]
-doesn't actually send the texture data to the gfx card, [pix_texture] does.</tt>

-<h2>
-<u>Utility objects</u></h2></center>
-There are a number of objects which were written to make it easier to use
-both GEM and pd.&nbsp; For instance, you often pass around 3 floats at
-a time in GEM, either for position or colors.&nbsp; To help with this,
-there are a collection of vector objects.&nbsp; Use the list below to find
-out about the objects.
-<p>These objects used to be in a separate library called MarkEx, but they
-have now been folded into GEM.
-<p><a href="#counter">counter</a> - count the number of bangs
-<br><a href="#average">average</a> - average a series of numbers together
-<br><a href="#change">change</a> - only output when there is a change in
-the number
-<br><a href="#invert">invert</a> - invert a number
-<br><a href="#randF">randomF/randF</a> - floating point random number
-<br><a href="#tripleLine">tripleLine</a> - line object for 3 values
-<br><a href="#tripleRand">tripleRand</a> - three random numbers
-<br><a href="#vector">vector objects</a> - process a series of numbers
-<br><a href="#hsv2rgb">hsv2rgb and rgb2hsv</a> - convert between RGB and
-HSV color space
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="counter"></a>counter</h3>
-
-<center><img SRC="counter.jpg" BORDER=1 height=85 width=87></center>
-
-<p>The inlets are:
-<br>bang (increment or decrement the counter)
-<br>set direction (1 = count up, 2 = count down, 3 = count up and down)
-<br>set low value
-<br>set hight value
-<br>The outlet is the current count.
-<p>So in this case, the top <i>counter</i> will count up from 1 to 10.&nbsp;
-The bottom <i>counter</i> will count up from 2 to 5.
-<p>The <i>counter</i> also accepts the messages reset and clear.&nbsp;
-Reset immediately sets the counter to its low value and outputs the value.&nbsp;
-The clear message means that the next bang will set the <i>counter</i>
-to its low value.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="average"></a>average</h3>
-The <i>average</i> object just averages a series of numbers as they come
-in.&nbsp; The left inlet accepts a single float.&nbsp; It then outputs
-the current average.&nbsp; The default number of floats to average together
-is 10, but that can be changed by sending a new value to the right inlet.
-<p>The <i>average</i> object also accepts the messages clear and reset.&nbsp;
-Clear will immediately set all of the values that the object has been storing
-for averaging to 0.&nbsp; With the reset message, you must pass in a number
-to set all of the values.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="change"></a>change</h3>
-<i>Change</i> only accepts a number into its left inlet.&nbsp; If the number
-is the same as the last number sent to the <i>change</i> object, then it
-does nothing.&nbsp; If the number is different, then the <i>change</i>
-object will output the new number and store it for the next comparision.
-<p>This object is very useful for the == object and others like it, since
-they send a 0 or a 1 every time they do a comparision, and you usually
-only care when the state actually changes.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="invert"></a>invert</h3>
-The <i>invert</i> object is very simple.&nbsp; If the number sent to its
-left inlet is equal to 0., then <i>invert</i> outputs a 1.&nbsp; If the
-number is not equal to 0., the <i>invert</i> outputs a 0.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="randF"></a>randomF/randF</h3>
-One problem with the <i>random</i> object in pd is that it only sends out
-integers.&nbsp; This a real problem in GEM, where you often want a value
-between 0 and 1.&nbsp; <i>randomF</i> is exactly like the <i>random</i>
-object.
-<p>When the left inlet gets a bang, <i>randomF</i> outputs a random number
-between 0 and the given range.&nbsp; The range can be set with a number
-to the right inlet.
-<p><i>randF</i> is just an alternate name for <i>randomF</i>.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="tripleLine"></a>tripleLine</h3>
-
-<center><img SRC="tripleLine.jpg" BORDER=1 height=92 width=111></center>
-
-<p>The <i>line</i> object is really great for dealing with a single number.&nbsp;
-To do a line with 3 values, like an RGB color value, means that you have
-to unpack, do a <i>line</i>, then repack the number.&nbsp; Not only is
-it a pain, but it expensive computationally.
-<p><i>tripleLine</i> behaves just like the <i>line</i> object, only it
-accepts three numbers to interpolate between.&nbsp; In the example, <i>tripleLine</i>
-will interpolate from the current values to 1., .2, .4 over 1000 milliseconds.&nbsp;
-The default output resolution is 50 milliseconds, which is the same default
-rendering time.&nbsp; Going faster with GEM objects will not produce any
-benefit, unless you increase the frames per second.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="tripleRand"></a>tripleRand</h3>
-
-<center><img SRC="tripleRand.jpg" BORDER=1 height=89 width=149></center>
-
-<p>Just as using <i>tripleLine</i> makes it easier to interpolate between
-3 values at once, <i>tripleRand</i> makes it easy to generate three random
-values.&nbsp; In the above example, when the bang is sent, <i>tripleRand</i>
-will create three values and output them, with the first between 0 - 1,
-the second between 0 - .5, and the third from 0 - .8.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="vector"></a>Vector objects</h3>
-The vector math objects are
-<br><i>vector+ </i>or<i> v+</i>
-<br><i>vector- </i>or<i> v-</i>
-<br><i>vector* </i>or<i> v*</i>
-<br><i>vector/ </i>or<i> v/</i>
-<br>All of the above objects perform math on a list of numbers.&nbsp; The
-left inlet accepts a list of numbers of any length.&nbsp; The right inlet
-accepts a single value, which is the operand for the computation.&nbsp;
-In other words, they work just like the normal *, +, -, and / objects,
-except they can handle more than one number in the left inlet.
-<p>There are two other objects which are also useful.
-<p>The first is <i>vectorabs </i>or<i> vabs</i>. It computes the absolute
-value on a list of numbers.
-<p>The second object is <i>vectorpack </i>or<i> vpack</i>. <i>vpack</i>
-accepts a list of numbers in the left inlet and a single number into the
-right inlet.&nbsp; The output is a single list of numbers that is the vector
-with the single number appended to the end.&nbsp; This is very useful when
-you want to change the time for a <i>tripleLine</i> without unpacking and
-repacking all of the data.<i></i>
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<h3>
-<a NAME="hsv2rgb"></a>hsv2rgb and rgb2hsv</h3>
-These two objects convert three numbers between HSV and RGB color space.&nbsp;
-HSV stands for hue, saturation, and value.&nbsp; The simple way to think
-of HSV space is that hue is the "color", such as red, blue, etc, the saturation
-is how intense the color is, and the value is how bright the color is.
-<p>You can get some really nice effects by varying the hue of a color,
-because the brightness will not change while you do it.

-<h2>
-<u>Creating new GEM objects</u></h2></center>
-Look at the source code :-)&nbsp; GEM is written in C++, which means that
-you have to jump through some hopes to interact properly with Pd, which
-is written in C.&nbsp; If you look in Base/CPPExtern.h, you will see a
-collection of macros which you can use to help you create new objects.&nbsp;
-Use one of the GEM objects which is closest to what you want to do as a
-template.
-<p>One problem on SGI...you will need to
-<p>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/where/ever/pd/gem"
-<p>so that rld (the run-time linker) can find the GEM dso.&nbsp; Because
-you are linking with GEM, Pd isn't involved with the run time linking process;
-it is all done when Pd calls dlopen.
-<p>On NT, there is much the same problem...
-<p>set your PATH environment variable to \where\ever\pd\gem
-<p>or
-<p>make sure that your new .dll is located in the same directory where
-GEM is.
-<p>On NT, all of the classes and functions are exported through declexport/declimport.&nbsp;
-You shouldn't have to do anything to call the functions.&nbsp; I have not
-had any problems making other dll's which are loaded into Pd at runtime.&nbsp;
-You need to make certain that you are exporting the correct functions.&nbsp;
-If your dll cannot find the gem.dll, then it will silently fail.
-<p>And of course, e-mail IOhannes m zmölnig (<a href="mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at">zmoelnig@iem.at</a>) if you have any problems,
-questions, or solutions
