#X text 12 20 DESCRIPTION: Message \, slider \, toggle \, bang and
number;
#X msg 93 145 hello world;
#X obj 93 168 print;
#X text 181 146 <- Click on this message;
#X text 18 74 Messages control the behavior of objects and it is the
objects that change what a patch does. The first object we're going
to learn is "print". All "print" does is print out the messages you
send it to the terminal:;
#X text 19 197 TIP: If you forget what an object does you can always
double-click (on a mac) or right-click (on a PC) and then choose "help".
;
#X text 19 250 In this tutorial we will use two different types of
objects: "objects" (of which "print" is an example) and GUI objects
\, (of which "message" is an example). GUI objects allow you to interact
with your patch \, control PD and change parameters of objects. We
are going to learn four types of GUI objects (but there are many more):
Slider \, Toggle \, Bang \, and Number.;
#X obj 76 355 hsl 300 30 0 127 0 0 empty empty This_is_a_HSlider_(Horizontal)
10 15 1 10 -262144 -1 -1 0 1;
#X obj 73 393 print;
#X text 21 421 This "hslider" is connected to the print object. This
way we can see what messages the "hslider" sends. Try clicking and
dragging in the Slider. You can change the scale (and other properties)
of some GUI Objects by double-clicking (mac) or right-clicking (pc)
and choosing "properties".;
#X text 13 46 The "message" and "hslider" GUI Objects:;
#X text 453 46 "toggle" \, "bang" \, "number";
#X obj 519 176 tgl 30 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1 0
1;
#X obj 629 176 bng 30 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1
-1;
#X obj 629 210 print Bang;
#X obj 519 210 print Toggle;
#X obj 739 210 print Number;
#X floatatom 739 192 5 0 0 0 - - -;
#X text 466 76 "slider" \, "toggle" and "number" all send messages
made up of floats (numbers). "bang" is a special case and it only sends
the message "bang". Below we're using an argument to the print object
that tags each message sent to the terminal. This way when we have
multiple "print" objects in one patch we can differenciate thier output.
;
#X text 465 268 "toggle" sends the message "1" or "0" \, "bang" always
sends "bang" and if you click and drag on the "number" you can see
it acts a lot like a Slider. With "number" you can also click once
\, and then type a number to send.;
#X text 467 335 TIP: You can send floating point numbers by holding
down the SHIFT key as you click and drag on the "number".;
#X text 467 375 There are other types of GUI objects not covered here.
