udpsend	External		Send max messages over the network using UDP. Both udpsend and udpreceive support the 'FullPacket' message used by the CNMAT OpenSoundControl external. This means they can be used as drop in replacements for the [otudp] object.
urn	External		Generate random numbers without duplicates Generate random numbers without duplicates Ñ "sampling without replacement".urn works like random, except that it keeps track of each number which has been generated. When all numbers up to the maximum (set via an argument or the right inlet) have been output, the next bang urn receives causes a bang to be sent out the right outlet.
v.!=	External		single stream: compare each pixel's brightness to an integer dual stream: compare corresponding pixels in two streams single stream: compare each pixel's brightness to an integer dual stream: compare corresponding pixels in two streams In single stream mode, v.!= compares each pixel in the input stream to the int that was received in the right inlet. Where the brightness of the pixel is not equal to the test value, v.!= outputs 255, otherwise it outputs 0. In dual stream mode, v.!= compares each pixel in stream 1 with the corresponding pixel in stream 2. Where the pixels are not equal, v.!= outputs 255, otherwise it outputs 0. In this mode, v.!= compares all components of the streams.

v.adapt	External		single stream: sample (pass), adapt to or hold (freeze) the incoming stream. dual stream: sample (pass) adapt to or hold (freeze) individual pixels based on the values of the pixels in a second stream. single stream: sample (pass), adapt to or hold (freeze) the incoming stream. dual stream: sample (pass) adapt to or hold (freeze) individual pixels based on the values of the pixels in a second stream. v.adapt passes the incoming stream when the input is 255 and holds a frame when the input is 0. In between, v.adapt adapts the output stream to the incoming values at a rate determined by the input. In single stream mode, the input is the int value received in the second inlet. In dual stream mode, the input is derived on a pixel by pixel basis from the pixels of a second stream. In single stream mode, if the v.adapt is currently 'holding', then bangs received in the first inlet grab and hold a new frame.
v.attachalpha	External		v.attachalpha adds an alpha channel to the incoming video stream. v.attachalpha adds an alpha channel to the incoming video stream. If a stream is being received in the second inlet, it is applied as the alpha channel. Otherwise, the alpha channel is filled with 255. The alpha channel is used in a number of objects (particularly v.composite, v.screen and v.window) to mask or mix streams. Objects that manipulate the spatial characteristics of a stream (i.e. v.zoom or v.flip) will also process the alpha channel if it exists to maintain a lock between the stream and its alpha channel.
v.buddy	External		v.buddy synchronizes a number of video streams so that the last received frames are output in right to left outlet order each time all inlets have received at least one frame since the last output.
v.buffers	External		v.buffers is a general holder of video frames. v.buffers is a general holder of video frames. It can grab frames from a live video stream. It can import quicktime movies. It can import individual still images in many formats. It can export its contents as a quicktime movie. It can export any individual frame as a still image in many formats. The first argument to v.buffers is a name for the buffer. The second is the number of buffers. The frames are stored in RAM and so the maximum number of buffers you can allocate depends on the amount of RAM you have allocated to MAX. You can set a format, width and height for the buffers, but if a different format or dimension stream is received, the buffers will be resized to match and the previously recorded frames will be cleared. The frames are accessed through v.buffertap objects.
v.heads	External		v.heads finds heads, and maintains head histories. v.heads finds heads, and maintains head histories. It expects to receive two input streams (from v.silhouette). It locates probably heads from these streams, and tracks them across time. The main head output is from the middle outlet. This outputs a list of heads ( x, y, and age for each). There are always max_heads triplets output, but empty heads are indicated with (-1, -1, 0). Dormant heads have a negative age, and are there to catch re-emerging heads that may have disappeared due to collisions, etc. The v.silhouette / v.heads combination will only work if a correctly processed stream is used as the input. See the example patch for more info.
v.idleblack	External		v.idleblack adds a single black frame to the end of a video stream. v.idleblack adds a single black frame to the end of a video stream. This happens when v.idleblack receives a v.stop message or if the source object is deleted or patch-cords cut. The black frame is inserted before the v.stop message.
v.samplehold	External		single stream: sample (pass) or hold (freeze) the incoming stream. dual stream: sample (pass) or hold (freeze) individual pixels based on the values of the pixels in a second stream. single stream: sample (pass) or hold (freeze) the incoming stream. dual stream: sample (pass) or hold (freeze) individual pixels based on the values of the pixels in a second stream. v.samplehold passes the incoming pixels when the input is not 0 and the pixel values when the input is 0. The input can be from the second inlet or on a pixel by pixel basis from the pixels of a second stream. In single stream mode, if the v.samplehold is currently “holding”, then bangs received in the first inlet grab and hold a new frame.

Libraries
boids	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='112' Jasch Sier Eric Singer Wesley Smith	Based on Simon Fraser's implementation of Craig Reynolds' Boids algorithm. Boids is free for non-commercial use. Boids is a bird flight and animal flock simulator. It is based on the same algorithm which was used in Jurassic Park for the herding dinosaurs. Boids takes an integer argument which is the number of boids. Each time Boids receives a bang, it calculates and outputs the new positions of the boids. The output consists of thew coordiantes for each boid, the number and type depending on the mode. The flight parameters can be changed with messages. Use the 'dump' message to output a list of the current parameter settings. For more information about the Boids algorithm, see Craig Reynolds' Web site at "http://reality.sgi.com/employees/craig/boids.html".
