Simplify the process of selecting Live interface elements for use with the Live API. The live.map object encapsulates the process of using the mouse to select Live user interface elements to determine their LOM paths and IDs. Cycling '74 Live Live API Objects bang, int, messages in TEXT_HERE bang, int, messages in TEXT_HERE path TEXT_HERE id TEXT_HERE name TEXT_HERE mapping 1/0 TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE Start mapping Begin the process of listening for mouse clicks for Live user interface element selection. Selecting a Live user interface element will automatically stop mapping after outputting the path and ID of the selected element. Start or stop mapping 1 in the left inlet of the object will begin the process of listening for mouse clicks for Live user interface element selection. Selecting a Live user interface element will automatically stop mapping after outputting the path and ID of the selected element. A 0 will manually stop mapping, whether or not a Live user interface element was selected. Cancel mapping Stop mapping if it was started. Retrieve the default value of the mapped element. Output the default value of the mapped Live user interface element, preceded by the word default, from the rightmost outlet of the object. Retrieve the range of the mapped element. Output the range of the mapped Live user interface element, preceded by the word range, from the rightmost outlet of the object. Clear the mapped element. If an element was previously mapped, clear the internal state of the live.map object, as well as any information about default value, range, etc. Mapping Mode Enabled (listening) When enabled (1), the live.map object is listening for mouse selection of Live user interface elements. When disabled (0), the object is not listening. Disallow Mapping to This Device When enabled (1), the live.map object will ignore mouse clicks on Live user interface elements inside the same device as the live.map object. TEXT_HERE The live.map object's outlets send, from right to left:

• dumpout: outputs the response to the getdefault and getrange methods, as well as any attribute value queries
• mapping: outputs the current mapping state (0 or 1)
• name: output the element name when mapped (when unmapped, the name <none> will be output)
• id: output the element LOM ID when mapped (when unmapped, the ID 0 will be output)
• path: output the element LOM path when mapped (when unmapped, the path <none> will be output)
