Creating Graphical User Interfaces in Max/MSP with [ JSUI ] | 01 | Introduction

[@philmaguire_]

Could you explain how box.rect is working? At first I got an error saying "box.rect is not defined". It went away (seemingly on its own?), but I'm unclear what the JS script is referencing if there's nothing like var = box.rect. I'm completely new to JS so probably missing something obvious!

can you please put a link to that reference material in the video description? thank you!

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Hey! Which material do you mean?

[@danjwheatley]

@@AmazingMaxStuff oh hi! I just meant the non cycling 74 javascript reference site :) thanks for all your amazing work!

[@pakkastudios]

i think your videos help so much! for someone who is really new till javascript and also max, i find it hard to find good tutorials or dokumentation for jsui!! can you make more??? 🥺👉👈

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Thank you! I have some more on my channel which you can find here: www.federicofoderaro.com/max-msp-jitter-tutorials.html But yes, always coming more!

[@estevancarlos]

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're using var instead of let?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Hey Estevan! Very simple reason: Max uses ES5, and "let" was introduced in ES6, so it just doesn't exist in Max.

[@estevancarlos]

@@AmazingMaxStuff Oh damn. I forgot about that. Okay thanks.

Hey Frederico, I was wondering if you knew how to fill a specific rectangle on click. I have a paint function that draws a grid of squares, kind of like matrixcrtl. I want it so that if I click on a square in the grid, it becomes filled with the fill() function. The problem is that I don't know how to reference a specific rectangle in my functions. Any advice would be appreciated!

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Hey Nathan! There would be several ways to do it, one would be to put all the squares of the grid in an array. At every click you would iter the array and check in which square the mouse is in. If it's inside one square you would then fill it.

This is a great start! Can you teach us how to create an eq visualizer like the live eq8?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Hey! I would not build it with JSUI but with a simple Max abstraction.

Thank you Henrique!

mgraphics: not enough arguments for rectangle ????

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Make sure you use 4 numbers as arguments, with commas between them

@@AmazingMaxStuff I already solved it, very silly problems XD,
