[linux-audio-dev] gui chrome

[Francois Dechelle]

What I'd ***really*** would like to see is how it looks once you do
Command-E (i.e. it "unlocks" the patch and all the wires between the
objects suddenly appear). Because in a MAX/MSP GUI, the wires between
the objects (and some objects too) are hidden when the patch is
"locked".

I've seen rather similar developments 2 years ago at Ircam and I still
haven't recovered of the Command-E: parts of the patch surface were
black because of the wires density!!!

These applications are presented here (site in french):

The Windows version has been done with Macromedia Director for the GUI
and jMax running without GUI for MIDI processing. The Mac version has
been done with Max/MSP.

The developement of the Windows version of the 6 applications took about
24 men-months, including porting jMax to Windows, and the development
was largely parallel between the GUIs' developpers and the patchs
developpers. 

Just my 2cents about MAX/MSP GUIs...
