Change label text dynamically via OSC

#1

I would like to change the text of a label when I receive an OSC string. Is that possible?
Or maybe via SVG attributes? I always wanted to ask: is writing and reading SVG attributes supported?

You can just use Csound to send a new text string to the label using an identchannel() identifier. No need for fancy SVG-ness.

Ah great! But you somehow avoided my question about SVG attributes. That would open a whole multiversum of possibilities, like dynamic ADSR curves etc (or maybe that can be done already?)

#4

This works fine ( I had to escape the quotes of course):

SIdentifier sprintfk “text(”%s")", gS
chnset SIdentifier, “pot0id”

#5

You could manipulate an SVG files text and then have Cabbage update the SVG fie in realtime, but I’m not sure how effective it might? Worth trying it I guess.
