hi there! I’ve been playing around with the signaldisplay widget a little (but evidently not enough), and I’m wondering if there’s a certain range of values for the zoom argument. Also, is there some significance to the min/max values if they exist? For example, if the maximum zoom is meant to display only one full cycle of a waveform played at a certain frequency?
thanks!
No, it’s more a rough guide to how many samples are displayed on screen. A value of 2 will show half the number of samples of a value of 1. I would need to look over the source code to give you more info that that. I know a value of -1 will disable the zoom buttons.
Are you trying to display a single cycle of a waveform to gives user an idea of the shape of the current output? I would just use a gentable for that. If that’s something you’re trying to do let me know and I can prepare a quick demo.
thanks for your reply, rory - your short explanation helped me understand the widget more.
I am in fact trying to display a single cycle of a waveform in signaldisplay - however, I also want to show how the waveform evolves over time, so I’m not sure if gentable could do that (unless it actually can!).
gentable all the way in this case
Check out the SimpleTable csd in the Misc examples. That should get you started 
oh! Thanks for the example. It seems that maybe if I create some kind of metro+trigger thing then I can make the table update automatically at a defined rate… I’ll look into it! Thanks again
