Hello.
I am trying to use the Table COMP to setup a grid of stuff.
I am trying to start simple… Currently I am just feeding a Table DAT with 9 items in a single column.
That works no problem.
But… now I need to add a second column and that’s where it fails. I can get the rows and columns I need but the Table COMP doesn’t display the data from the Table DAT. Looking inside the Table COMP I can’t see why its not showing. All the boxes just show up as black.
What am I doing wrong/missing?
I watched a great tutorial on the Table COMP but unfortunately the entire thing is a single column and I can’t find much more info on how to work with this thing!
Thanks!
The default Table COMP you place from the Op Create Dialog has a layout of two columns.
But AFAIK it only reads incoming data per row. (Go into the Table COMP to see).
So the simplest solution to your issue is to convert the incoming Table DAT to have all data in a single column, then the Table COMP would take of laying out those items over 4 columns, like this:
But perhaps you would also be interested in the List COMP.
See examples in Help->Operator Snippets, the second example for the List COMP uses multiple columns in a DAT to show multiple columns output.
Also useful is the Lister in palette, it’s a Python based extended version of the List COMP: Palette:lister - Derivative

Oh. Well. Thank you for this.
Sometimes the answer is so simple that I feel really dumb for not having figured it out. Brain gets stuck trying to force something a certain way and sometimes it takes an outside view to unlock the whole thing for you. Appreciate it!
