Examples

div~ Reference - Max 8 Documentation (1)

Arguments

initial-divisor [number]

Optional

Sets an initial value by which to divide the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to the right inlet, the argument is ignored. If no argument is present, and no signal is connected to the right inlet, the initial value is 1 by default.

hidden [int] (default: 0)

Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.

hint [symbol]

Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.

ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)

Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.

jspainterfile [symbol]

JS Painter File

patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)

Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.

position [2 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.

presentation [int] (default: 0)

Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.

presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.

rect [4 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).

size [2 floats]

g/s(set)

Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.

textcolor [4 floats]

Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.

Sets the justification for the object's text. Possible values:

0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'

varname [symbol]

Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.

Messages

int

Arguments

dividend/divisor [int]

In left inlet: The number is divided by the signal coming into the right inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

In right inlet: A number by which to divide the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

float

Arguments

dividend/divisor [float]

In left inlet: The number is divided by the signal coming into the right inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

In right inlet: A number by which to divide the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

signal

In left inlet: The signal is divided by a signal coming into the right inlet, or a constant value received in the right inlet. All signal inputs to a single inlet are summed. If a signal and number are both sent to the left inlet, the specified operation will be performed with those values.

In right inlet: The signal is used as the divisor, to be divided into the signal coming into the left inlet, or the constant value received in the left inlet. All signal inputs to a single inlet are summed.

Output

signal

The ratio of the two inputs, i.e., the left input divided by the right input.
