Bnyce Lines
This is a slightly modified version of Quartz Composer Test / Lines / www.zugakousaku.com
It demonstrates:
- Interpolation (changing a value from A to B over time)
- Image with String (creating an image from text, duh)
- Billboard (stationary display frame, as opposed to Sprites, which are frames that move around)
- Audio Input (responding to the Mic)
- Math patch (in this case, tweaking the audio volume)
- Range (in this case, limits the results of tweaked volume)
- Color Transformation (in this case, uses tweaked audio volume to control opacity)
- Image filtering (in this case, I'm sending the Image with String through the ASCII Art patch)
A few things that were not immediately intuitive to me:
- Generally, data flows from left to right through Patches. Input on the left, output on the right.
- Blue rounded patches are "consumer patches". That means they're the end of the line for data processing, and they usually send their output straight to the screen.
- Blue or Black Straight-Cornered (not rounded) patches are abstractions of deeper complexity. Double click on them to edit their guts.
