hi John, the trick with the single-object-multiple-rendering is that you have to stuff all its alternating states between the [t b erase] of the jit.gl.render.<br>you see, jit.render will not output a screen refrash if not given a bang, so any valid opengl object you stuff into it between the erase and bang will be stored and outputted in time.<br>
[t b b erase]<br> | | |<br> | jit.gl.text |<br> |____________|<br> |<br> jit.gl.render<br>you have to have your gl object set to @automatic 0 so it will not auto add to render Que, only when it receives a bang. you can then give the same object many diffrent states and it will go to the same rendering context. that said, im not sure its more efficient or not. experiment.<br>
<br>this is the explanation floating in my head, it can be put better and there are some finer details to this then i gave. also drawing ascii-patches is a bitch!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 3, 2008 8:33 PM, Leafcutter John <<a href="mailto:thetawnyowl@googlemail.com">thetawnyowl@googlemail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
