Artio

Generative pixel maps for display calibration and alignment

Artio is a simple and highly customizable component that generates a pixel map for each of your displays in a geometry COMP replicator setup, designed for maximum readability and usability for events and performances. It's name (ἄρτιος) is the Greek word for "perfectly aligned."

Content Inputs
  • Pixel Map - the default input: Artio's pixel map component.
  • In TOP - simply wire any TOP to an Artio Display geometry component's input, and it will automatically display it.
  • Content TOP - drag and drop your content TOP here and Artio will automatically display it if it detects a valid OP.
  • Content COMP - drag and drop your content Container here and Artio will automatically display it if it detects a valid OP.

Content Outputs
  • out1 - Outputs the Content Source as a TOP, per Artio Display geometry replicant.

Parameters

Display Page
  • Display Name - The name of the display (Wall, Center, Main, Projector 4, Projector 5, etc.)
  • Resolution - The resolution, in pixels, of the display; the geometryCOMP in which the display is rendered contains a rectangleSOP that is set to a size 1/1000th the scale of the resolution (a resolution of 1920 x 1080 renders at a sizex of 1.92 and sizey of 1.08)
  • Position - Where the Display is rendered within the render top. 1 unit = 1,000 pixels
  • Rotation - The degrees in which the Display is rotated on the z-axis (rz). Useful for portrait display orientations (90 or -90 degrees)
  • Content Source - Switch between different sources of content (Pixel Map, In TOP [wire], TOP or COMP sources)
  • Content TOP - The input TOP for content
  • Content COMP - The input COMP for content

Logo/Text Page
  • Logo Active - Toggles visibility of the logo (Banana is default... naturally)
  • Name Text Active - Toggles the visibility of the Display Name text
  • Resolution Text Active - Toggles the visibility of the resolution text
  • Logo/Text Offset - How far left/right and up/down the entire Logo/Text block is positioned, in pixels
  • Logo/Text Rotation - How many degrees the entire Logo/Text block is rotated
  • Logo File - The custom logo file to be used (expects an image or movie that a moviefileinTOP can read)
  • Logo Scale - How big or small the logo is rendered
  • Logo Offset - How far left/right and up/down the logo is offset from it's origin
  • Text Font - The font used to render the Name, Resolution and grid number IDs
  • Text Colour - The colour and alpha of the text rendered
  • Text BG Colour - The colour and alpha of the plate behind text elements
  • Name Text Size - The size in vertical pixels of the Name Text, in pixels
  • W x H Text - Whether the Resolution Text is displayed in "XXX x XXX px" or "W XXX x H XXX" notation
  • Resolution Text Size - The size in vertical pixels of the Resolution Text, in pixels
  • Resolution Text Offset - How far left/right and up/down the Resolution Text is offset from it's origin, in pixels

Guidelines Page
  • Line Thickness - How thick or thin guidelines are rendered, in pixels
  • Border Active - Toggles visibility of the outermost border around the entire perimeter of the display
  • Border Line Dashed - Toggles whether the Border Line is rendered as a dashed line (True) or as a solid line (False)
  • Border Line Colour - The colour and alpha of the Border Line
  • Crosshair Lines Active - Toggles visibility of the crosshair (vertical and horizontal perpendicular) lines
  • Crosshair Lines Dashed - Toggles whether the Crosshair Lines are rendered as dashed lines (True) or as solid lines (False)
  • Crosshair Lines Colour - The colour and alpha of the Crosshair Lines
  • Diag Lines Active - Toggles visibility of the Diagonal lines that terminate at each corner of the display
  • Diag Lines Dashed - Toggles whether the Diagonal Lines are rendered as dashed lines (True) or as solid lines (False)
  • Diag Lines Colour - The colour and alpha of the Diagonal Lines
  • Circle Active - Toggles visibility of the perfect Circle Line (useful for verifying display ratio)
  • Circle Dashed - Toggles whether the Circle Line is rendered as a dashed line (True) or as a solid line (False)
  • Circle Radius - How big or small the Circle is rendered; a radius of 10 renders the circle at the full width of a full HD display (1920 wide)
  • Circle Colour - The colour and alpha of the Circle Line

Tiles Page
  • Tiles Active - Toggles visibility of the Tiles background colour fills
  • Tile Size - The resolution of each tile, in pixels
  • Tile Alignment - How the Tile grid is justified (top left or center center), useful for odd resolution/tile size combinations in which Tiles may be cut off
  • Tile Light Colour - The colour of Tiles on the right of each gradient step
  • Tile Dark Colour - The colour of Tiles on the left of each gradient step
  • Tile Number Active - Toggles visibility of Tile number ID texts
  • Tile Number Prefix - String to insert before each number (A1, B1, C1, etc.)
  • Tile Number Colour - The colour and alpha of Tile Number texts
  • Tile Number Size - The height of Tile Numbers, in pixels
  • Tile Diag Lines Active - Toggles visibility of Tile Diagonal ('x') lines
  • Tile Diag Lines Colour - The colour and alpha of Tile Diag Linse
  • Tile Borders Active - Toggles visibility of Tile Borders
  • Tile Borders Colour - The colour and alpha of Tile Borders
  • BG Colour - The colour and alpha of the Background plate (behind all Tiles; Tiles Active must be set to False in order to display the BG Colour)

Corners Page
  • Corners Active - Toggles visibility of Corner triangles in each corner of the display map (useful for precisely identifying where the corner of each display is located)
  • Corner Size - The size (width and height) of each corner triangle, in pixels
  • Corner Colour - The Colour and alpha of each Corner triangle

Export Page
  • File Format - The image file format to save to
  • Save Folder - The folder to save the image to. Defaults (when blank) to the project's folder
  • Filename - The name of the file to save to. Remember to keep the file extension (.{me.par.Fileformat}) in this expression or it may break
  • Export Image - Pulse to save out the image. Will overwrite any existing image with the same name. Will also open up a Windows File Explorer window to reveal the file
