j.unit : doesn't work with list

avilleret commented 9 years ago

as soon as I set the output, j.unitstops to work with list only the first converted element is fired

lossius commented 9 years ago

I'm not 100&% clear on what you mean. Do you mean that you can not use j.unit to convert e.g. a list of gain values in linear unit to decibel?

If so, that's a current limitation of the DataspaceLib itself.

avilleret commented 9 years ago

yes, I can't convert list of gain or angle it seems to only work with position but it seems to be a know issue then

lossius commented 9 years ago

Yes, this is a known limitation currently. The DataspaceLib implementation does not keep track of how many floats are required for various input and output units. If we extended it to keep track of this, it could see if the total number of floats received multiplies by this nicely, and if so, do a series of conversions in one go. In the meantime, here's a simple workaround in Max:
