Re: [sc-users] Want to try Scgraph on os x, any advice?

[nescivi <nescivi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hiho,

For the classes, there is a quark with them.
Just do
Quarks.gui
and select scgraph.
You may want to check the Quarks helpfile.

I recently commited a class GServer to that Quark, which will allow you to 
easily start scgraph from with sclang.

That being said... scgraph is still rather experimental, and not totally up-
to-date with the latest changes in SC3.3.
And somewhat undocumented, though there are some files in the Quark as 
examples.
You may want to get more familiar with sclang first, before trying scgraph.

I've done professional work with it though, using it for visualisation of 
physical lights I was controlling on stage. Very useful in the prototyping 
stage, and during the show for checking that all worked as it should.

sincerely,
Marije
