Attributes Description

Attributes represent the internal state of Jitter objects. They are presented in table form with the name of the attribute, the type and size of the attribute, and a brief description of what the attribute is. Attributes may be set by sending the message [attribute-name] [attribute-value], where attribute-value is the type listed in the type column of the attribute table--e.g. planecount 4. An attribute may also be set inside the object box using @[attribute-name] [attribute-value]--e.g. jit.op @planecount 4 (no space between "@" and "planecount"). An attribute may be queried by the symbol made up of the word "get" followed by the attribute name--e.g. getplanecount (no space between "get" and "planecount"). the results of the query will be sent out the object’s rightmost outlet as a message of the form [attribute-name] [attribute-value]--e.g. planecount 4. All attributes may be considered both "settable" and "gettable" unles the attribute name is immediately followed by either the word "(set)" or "(get)". If the attribute name is followed by the word "(set)", then the attribute may only be set only set, and if followed by the word "(get)", then the attribute may only be set only queried.
