This is the HTML documentation for the Pd computer program.
|
|
Pd is free and can be downloaded from the internet;
|
|
go to
|
|
<A href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html">
|
|
http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html</A>
|
|
to get it.
|
|
<H3> <A name=s1> 1.1. guide to the documentation </A> </H3>
|
|
|
|
<P> Pd's documentation consists of:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> this HTML manual
|
|
<LI> "reference" patches, one for each kind of object in Pd
|
|
<LI> "example" patches showing how to do things
|
|
<LI> sample C code
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
This manual has five sections:
|
|
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI> this overview
|
|
<LI> <A href="x2.htm">
|
|
a theory of operations, explaining how Pd works </A>
|
|
<LI> <A href="x3.htm">
|
|
instructions on installing Pd and getting it to run </A>
|
|
<LI> <A href="x4.htm"> how to write C extensions to Pd </A>
|
|
<LI> <A href="x5.htm"> release notes and known bugs </A>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
For a list of all the objects you can use in Pd, see the text file,
|
|
"0.INTRO.txt" in the directory, "../5.reference". To get help on any
|
|
Pd object you can right click on it; or you can browse the help patches
|
|
by choosing "Browser..." in the Pd help menu and looking in
|
|
5.reference.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The example patches are also available from the "Browser..." item
|
|
in Pd's "help" menu. They appear in subdirectories named
|
|
"2.control.examples", "3.audio.examples" and "4.fft.examples." Some additional
|
|
patches in "7.stuff" might also be helpful.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
To get started writing your own C extensions, refer to chapter 4 of this manual.
|
|
|
|
<H3> <A name=s2> 1.2. other resources </A> </H3>
|
|
|
|
<P> There is a very extensive Pd community web site,
|
|
<a href="http://www.pure-data.info/"> pure-data.info</a>, which aims to be the
|
|
central resource for Pd, from documentation and
|
|
downloads; to forums, member pages, and a patch exchange.
|
|
|
|
<P> More documentation is avalable on the Pd FLOSS site:
|
|
<A href=http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/>
|
|
en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/</A> (English) and
|
|
<A href=http://fr.flossmanuals.net/PureData/>
|
|
fr.flossmanuals.net/PureData/</A> (French).

|
<P>

|
Most of the interesting news related to Pd shows up on the Pd mailing list,
|
|
maintained by Iohannes Zmoelnig. To subscribe or browse the archives
|
|
visit:
|
|
<A href="http://iem.at/mailinglists/pd-list/">
|
|
http://iem.at/mailinglists/pd-list/</A>.
|
|
|
|
This is the
|
|
best source of recent information regarding installation problems and bugs. It
|
|
is perfectly reasonable to post "newbie" questions on this list; alternatively
|
|
you can contact msp@ucsd.edu for help.
|
|
|
|
<P> the Pd Extended package, maintained by Hans-Christophe Steiner, can be
|
|
downloaded from the <A href=http://sourceforge.net/projects/pure-data/> Pd's
|
|
sourceforge site </A>. All this and much more is described in detail on <A
|
|
href="http://puredata.info/"> http://puredata.info/</A>.
|
|
|
|
<P> Many extensions to Pd are announced on the mailing list. In particular,
|
|
for people interested in graphics, there is a 3D graphics rendering package,
|
|
named GEM, based on OpenGL, written by Mark Danks, adapted to Linux by
|
|
Guenter Geiger, and now maintained by Iohannes Zmoelnig. You can get
|
|
it from: <A href="http://iem.at/GEM">http://iem.kug.ac.at/GEM</A>, or by
|
|
installing Pd Extended.
