Example of volume plot

A modification of the code written at Zinecamp 2023 that captures audio and makes HPGL code for a volume plot. This version is more user friendly, with buttons for starting, restarting and copying, and with input length and title. Like this:

At the moment, volume plotting is not hosted online. You can get your own copy of the code here:

<h1></h1>
<p>This is a small script to capture a snippet of sound and convert it to a volume HPGL code for your penplotting pleasure. </p>
<p>Usage:
<ol>
  <li>Press the button saying 'Start recording'.</li>
  <li>Wait until recording is done, indicated by HPGL code appearing below.</li>
  <li>Copy the HPGL output if you want to use it.</li>
  <li>Press the button saying 'Rerecord' to repeat the process!!</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>(Don't forget to allow the use of the microphone!)</p>

<p>Optionally, change the length of the recording: <input type="text" value="1000" id="nr_points_input"> points</p>
<p>Optionally, change the title of the recording: <input type="text" value="ZINECAMP RECORDING" id="title_input"></p>
<button onclick="start_recording()">Start recording</button>
<button onclick="copy_HPGL()">Copy HPGL output</button>
<button onclick="clear_HPGL()">Rerecord</button>
