Create and access dictionaries Use the dict object to create named dictionaries, clone existing dictionaries, and query existing dictionaries to access their data. Cycling '74 Dictionary dictionary input clones and sends, bang sends TEXT_HERE dictionary input clones but does not send TEXT_HERE dictionary TEXT_HERE value for an invidual key in response to the 'get' message TEXT_HERE list of keys in response to 'getkeys' message List of keys in response to 'getkeys' message, or a boolean in response to the 'contains' message. list of dictionaries in response to 'getnames' message TEXT_HERE Name to be associated with this dictionary Name to be associated with this dictionary. If no argument is given, then a unique name will be generated. Name of a JSON or YAML file to be imported Name of a JSON or YAML file to be imported into this dictionary on load. Send a reference to the dictionary from the first outlet. TEXT_HERE Add values to an array. Add values to the end of an array associated with the specified key. Erase the contents of the dictionary, restoring to a clean state. TEXT_HERE Make a clone of the incoming dictionary. Make a clone of the incoming dictionary. If received at the first inlet, send a reference to this new clone from the first outlet. Otherwise just clone the dictionary and don't send it out. Make a clone of the incoming named-dictionary. Make a clone of the incoming dictionary. If received at the first inlet, send a reference to this new clone from the first outlet. Otherwise just clone the dictionary and don't send it out. Return a 0 or 1 to the third outlet indicating the specified key exists (or doesn't) in the dictionary. TEXT_HERE Open a dictionary editor window. Open the dictionary editor window. Write the dictionary contents to a file Write the dictionary contents to a JSON or YAML file. If no path/filename is provided, a dialog will be presented. The the file format is determined from the file name extension, either '.json' or '.yaml'. Open a dictionary editor window by double-clicking Double-click a dict object to open a dictionary editor window. Return the value associated with a key to the second outlet. TEXT_HERE Return a list of all the keys in a dictionary to the third outlet. Return a list of all the keys in a dictionary to the third outlet. By default the keys are sorted according to the order in which keys were added to the dictionary. Use the optional argument to specify alphabetical sorting. Return a list of all the dictionaries that currently exist to the fourth outlet. TEXT_HERE Return the number of values associated with a key to the second outlet. TEXT_HERE Return the type of the values associated with a key to the second outlet. TEXT_HERE Read the dictionary contents from a file Read the dictionary contents from a JSON or YAML file. If no path/filename is provided, a dialog will be presented. The the file format is determined from the file name extension, either '.json' or '.yaml'. Replace the content of a dictionary. Replace the content of a dictionary by providing the new content as JSON. Pull the content of a named coll object into the dictionary Pull the content of a named coll object into the dictionary. The indices in the coll will become the keys, and the values for those indices the values for the dictionary's keys. Push the dictionary's content into a named coll object Push the dictionary's content into a named coll object. The keys in the dictionary will become the indices in the coll, and the values for those indices the values of the dictionary's keys. Set the value for a key to a specified value. TEXT_HERE Read the dictionary contents from a file Read the dictionary contents from a JSON or YAML file. If no path/filename is provided, a dialog will be presented. The the file format is determined from the file name extension, either '.json' or '.yaml'. Read the dictionary contents from a file Read the dictionary contents from a JSON or YAML file. If no path/filename is provided, a dialog will be presented. The the file format and extension are not checked. The contents of the file are assumed to be in JSON format. Remove a key and its associated value from the dictionary. TEXT_HERE Set the value for a key to a specified value, creating heirarchy. Set the value for a key to a specified value. If a heirarchy is specified for the key, and the heirarchy does not exist, then it will be created in the dictionary. Set the value for a key to a dictionary. Set the value for a key to dictionary content defined using JSON. Close the dictionary editor window. Close the dictionary editor window if it is open. Write the dictionary contents to a file Write the dictionary contents to a JSON or YAML file. If no path/filename is provided, a dialog will be presented. The the file format is determined from the file name extension, either '.json' or '.yaml'. Write the dictionary contents to a file Write the dictionary contents to a JSON or YAML file. The file provided as an argument for the previous 'write' or 'export' message will be used. Save the content of the dictionary with the patcher Toggles the ability to embed the contents of the dict as part of the main paitch. If the embed attribute is set to 1, this overrides this attribute on any other dicts with the same name. Name associated with the dictionary Name associated with the dictionary. All dictionaries are passed by reference using a symbolic name. If you do not provide a name, a unique name will be generated internally. Parameter Mode Enable TEXT_HERE Reduce error checking and reporting Reduce error checking and reporting when operations are performed on the dict.
