Hi all,

I know by now how to define multiple images in the Visualization Studio (VS) (1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg etc.), but what do I have to do to make them work like a slide-show? With interval of, say, 5 seconds?
Right now I'm just looking at the first picture and it just stays there...

Thanks in advance!

(is it correct that the Help-file of VS is rather poor?)

Sorry for the lack of documentation and clarity with the vis studio.

To change images, you have to give MJ an "image change" equation, that tells it i, or the index of the image to use.

Try this to roll through images:

i=i|PLS|0.01;

Hope that helps.

Hi Matt,

now we're getting somewhere! But I still have some finetuning to do:
1) how can I make the images to appear every, say, 5 seconds instead every 1 second (which it is now)
2) now the previous image is visable behind the new image, if it's a different size. How can I make VS refresh the screen every time it shows a new image?
3) is there a limit in how many images I can define in the images-field? I want to add some 500 pictures.

Hope you can help me again!

Hey Mark,

1) how can I make the images to appear every, say, 5 seconds instead every 1 second (which it is now)

Make the image change equation use a smaller number, like i=i|PLS|0.001

2) now the previous image is visable behind the new image, if it's a different size. How can I make VS refresh the screen every time it shows a new image?

You need to add a flush before the image to erase what was there.  And you may want the image and flush on a separate layer -- play around.

3) is there a limit in how many images I can define in the images-field? I want to add some 500 pictures.

Probably not, but I haven't actually tried.

Take care Mark.

(p.s. if you keep a simple list of requests for the vis studio in v9, we could probably implement several of them)
