pvsdisp

Displays a PVS signal as an amplitude vs. freq graph.

It prints the frames every hopsize. Uses X11 or FLTK windows if enabled, else (or if -g flag is set) displays are approximated in ASCII characters.

Syntax

pvsdisp fsig [, ibins, iwtflg]

Initialization

ibins (optional, default=all bins) -- optionally, display only ibins bins.

iwtflg (optional, default=0) -- wait flag. If non-zero, each pvsdisp is held until released by the user. The default value is 0 (no wait).

Performance

pvsdisp -- displays the PVS signal frame-by-frame.

Note: when there is nothing to display (silences), messages like these will accompany each plot:

instr 1, pvs-signal fsig:   10 points, scalemax 0.000

Examples

Here is an example of the pvsdisp opcode. It uses the file pvsdisp.csd.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-n  ;;;no sound
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o pvsdisp.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

sr = 44100 
ksmps = 32 
0dbfs  = 1 
nchnls = 2

instr 1
