This is the readme for the pre-release of pixelTANGO.
pixelTANGO CVS Release $Revision: 1.1 $ $Date: 2005-11-26 22:21:06 $
PixelTANGO is a set of abstractions and patches that make use
of pd/Gem for creating visuals in a live performance setting.
Of course it can be used for many other things and provides
an interface to use the power of pd/Gem with a less-steep
learning curve.
PixelTANGO was written by Ben Bogart and Franz Hildgen @
The SociŽtŽ des arts technologiques (SAT) as part of the
Territoires Ouverts / Open Territories (TOT) project funded
by Heritage Canada.
For more information: http://www.tot.sat.qc.ca
pixelTANGO is Copyright Ben Bogart, Franz Hildgen and The
SociŽtŽ des arts technologiques.
This is a pre-release, and not an official release supported
by the SAT. There are many bugs and the software is incomplete.
Nevertheless it is quite usable and will be the basis of future
releases.

USAGE:
Note this release is only supported by MacOSX (tested on 10.3) the
required externals are available under linux, and the patches should
be fully linux compatible. Feel free to take a crack at running it
under linux.
You must have PD/Gem installed to use pixelTANGO.
Choose a place for PixelTANGO /usr/local/lib/pd seems natural.
Add the "externals" folder to your PD path.
Add the "abstractions" folder to your PD path.
Add the "abstractions-memento" folder to your PD path.
Add the "scripts" folder to your PD path.
Run PD will flags such as:
pd -rt -helppath /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/help -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/abstractions/ -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/abstractions-memento -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/externals/ -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/scripts -nosound -nomidi -lib Gem:zexy:OSC:py
Linux uses note that pixelTANGO has hard-coded directories for OSX in
pt.entry and pt.layerfx. Open these files in an editor and change the
"/Applications/..." paths to reflect where your fonts (for pt.entry)
and fx/ abstractions (for pt.layerfx) are located.
Try the included Example-Patches and give it a go. To get a run of
existing PixelTANGO modules open the PixelTANGO-help.pd file. Help
For each abstraction is available through the usual Right-Click or
Bouble-Click menu.
Have fun!
