DESCRIPTION::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SystemClock is more accurate than AppClock, but cannot call GUI primitives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See link::Classes/Clock:: for general explanation of how clocks operate.
|

CLASSMETHODS::

|
|
|
||
|
|
private::prClear
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::sched
|
||
|
|
The float you return specifies the delta to resched the function for. Returning nil will stop the task from being rescheduled.
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
SystemClock.sched(0.0,{ arg time;
|
||
|
|
time.postln;
|
||
|
|
rrand(0.1,0.9);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
SystemClock.sched(2.0,{
|
||
|
|
"2.0 seconds later".postln;
|
||
|
|
nil;
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::clear
|
||
|
|
Clear the SystemClock's scheduler to stop it.
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
SystemClock.clear;
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::schedAbs
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
SystemClock.schedAbs( (thisThread.seconds + 4.0).round(1.0),{ arg time;
|
||
|
|
("the time is exactly " ++ time.asString
|
||
|
|
++ " seconds since starting SuperCollider").postln;
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::play
|
||
|
|
Calls to the GUI may not be made directly from actions triggered by SystemClock or incoming socket messages (OSCFunc).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get around this, use code::{ }.defer ::. This will execute the function using the AppClock and is equivalent to code::AppClock.sched(0, function)::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
var w, r;
|
||
|
|
w = Window.new("trem", Rect(512, 256, 360, 130));
|
||
|
|
w.front;
|
||
|
|
r = Routine({ arg time;
|
||
|
|
60.do({ arg i;
|
||
|
|
0.05.yield;
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
w.bounds = w.bounds.moveBy(10.rand2, 10.rand2);
|
||
|
|
w.alpha = cos(i*0.1pi)*0.5+0.5;
|
||
|
|
}.defer;
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
1.yield;
|
||
|
|
w.close;
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
SystemClock.play(r);
|
||
|
|
)

This example is only to show how to make calls to Cocoa/GUI when scheduling with the SystemClock. If you only wish to control the GUI, use AppClock.
