How do I proceed to draw graphics on the screen of my organelle, I am digging through existing patches to try to understand but I don’t seem to be able to wrap my head around the basic concepts.

I see these /oled/xxxx messages that get sent to oscOut but I have no clue what these commands do and in which order to invoke them. Where can I find more information on this subject? Did I miss a hidden chapter in the manual somewhere?

kr,

P

did you check out this patch:

[https://patchstorage.com/graphics-demo/](https://patchstorage.com/graphics-demo/)

it demos all the commands. the trick is you have to send gFlip to cause the screen to update.

😊 I did not, I started digging in the Vote patch and some other graphics oriented patches and got completely lost. I will study the demo patch before asking further questions.

Thank you.

Peter.

Looking through this demo make everything crystal clear. Thanks a lot for the pointers.
