Hey guys. I'm happy to announce my first Pd external library, ofelia. https://github.com/cuinjune/ofxOfelia

ofelia is a Pure Data(aka Pd) external library written with openFrameworks for creating cross-platform multimedia applications.

The library consists of over 400 objects covering most features of openFrameworks core API, designed to ease the development of multimedia applications such as visual arts, musical apps and interactive games.

And thanks to the real-time nature of Pure Data, one can make changes and see the result immediately without having to compile.

The library includes the following features:

• interactive output window

• various getters and event listeners

• 2d/3d shapes drawing

• image and font loading

• camera, lighting, material

• framebuffer object

• various data types (vec3f, color..)

• various utilities to speed up development (new expr, counter..)

• bandlimited oscillators and resonant filters

The library is currently available to be used under macOS, Linux(64bit) and Windows. It will also be available on Raspberry Pi soon.

Furthermore, the patch made with ofelia and Pd vanilla objects can easily be converted to a standalone application.
You can share the application with a wide range of audiences including non-Pd users and mobile device users.

Installation

• Make sure you have Pd installed on your desktop.
• Start Pd and go to Help -> Find externals, then search for ofelia
• Select the proper version of ofelia for your system to download and install.

Explore

• Try the example patches inside ofelia/examples directory.
• Open ofelia/help-intro.pd to see the list of built-in objects in ofelia.
• Open the help files to learn more about each object.
• Create something cool and share it with other people.

I hope you like it. 🙂

@oscarsantis I managed to install ofelia on debian buster by changing a library in the dependecies file and adding some symlinks. I described this method here: https://github.com/cuinjune/Ofelia/issues/11#issuecomment-615097745.

But mind the comment of IOhannes (umlaeute) and only do this at your own risk!

@ingox Thanks for the information.
I prefer to be patient and wait for a deken release that runs fine on Buster.
Now to work with Ofelia is not a life or death issue.

Perhaps the description from @Cuinjune from the Github link above does work too:
"This is how I could build ofelia on Rapbian Buster.

Install openFrameworks 0.11.0 following the link in the above comment.

In ofxOfelia/libs/ofxLua/src/bindings/glmbindings.cpp,
comment out the following line:
#include <glm/gtc/functions.hpp>

Find and open config.make in both LinuxExample and LinuxExternal and then find and change
-Os to -O2

Now compile using make"

I cannot confirm if it works, because I do not have Debian Buster, but I compiled it for Ubuntu which was quite easy.

Hi there

I run Pd 0.51-4 on a 64 bit ubuntu 20.10.
I installed Ofelia via Deken. As soon as the lib is loaded (at Pd start or via [declare -lib]), Pd segfaults.
Any hint ?

Thanks !

Any error messages in terminal?
Did you run the script inside: Ofelia/scripts/Linux64/updateOF.sh ?

You can also create an issue here: https://github.com/cuinjune/Ofelia/issues

Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

There is no Linux64 folder inside of the scripts folder. I just installed Ofelia via Deken, and i don't need OfxOfelia to use the lib inside Pd, do I ?

Yes I know, i just figured i'd ask here first. Thanks !

Hey,
So, I have been using ofelia. I am having an issue now, though. Does ofelia "take over" the "command" and "shell" capabilities of the program and "freezes" the directory? It seems to.

When I open up a file, then I cannot use unix command, cd ./newdirectory to go to a new directory.

Even if I close the program that "froze" the directory.

Also, if I close the pure data file that is running ofelia, ofelia still seems to be working in the background and I can no longer move to other directories. Help.

@raynovich you can try the (inofficialy) updated version: https://github.com/Jonathhhan/ofxOfelia/tree/update-april-2024

I might have to give that a try after my concert next weekend.
