A low-resolution work. Real time motion capture display made with an 11x8 (88) pixels iPad matrix using Grasshopper + Firefly + Pure Data + TouchOSC for iPad.
represent the list rearrangement. It would also be great for this to accommodate variable list lengths because the u/v gridlines on the original surface are tbd

omponent that increases in the x-axis (example below).
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 etc...B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 etc...C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 etc...D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 etc...
This is as far as I've gotten:
I have collected my points on the grid into a "List Length" component and input that into a "Series" which input into a "Function" with the expression Format("A{0}",x). The result labeling resembles the example below.
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
A6 A7 A8 A9 A10
A11 A12 A13 A14 A15 etc...
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.…
am doing the paneling tutorial from the first primer..pg 88. i baked it but while selecting the multiple geometries i cannot select individual ones, they are selected as surfaces..is that ok or .....?

Obviously you can skip the creation part and instruct GH to deal with instance definitions already listed in the Block Manager (say: find the block named "cell666_B3" blah, blah) ... but that means that you can only use them (meaning a rather "limited" parametric approach) and not make them from scratch (meaning a true parametric approach).
But I guess that you've tried the block way in the Rhino environment already. That said I use rather solely this approach in GH and yields quite manageable object collections - I would say "real-time" response (up to 20K instances) but I use dedicated Xeon E5 1630 V3 workstations (with NVida Quadros K4200 and up for the graphic response part of the equation) so the "performance" is rather a subjective thing.
Modifications:
easily doable with GH (on instance definitions at placing time: since you need only to scale them and not vary their topology).
Anyway post a portion of the R file.…
