Re: [PD-dev] Pd-extended EOL?

Also, this would be a great update for libpd & alternate/custom UIs.

The real way to fix this is to make pd know as little as possible about the GUI stuff, then things can be handled much better in pd-gui. If you are going to put work into this, the best approach is also a more incremental approach. This approach will also easily give Pd a scalable GUI.

• look for any sys_vgui() call in pd that sends raw Tcl
• convert this to a pd message one at a time
• push the logic to pd-gui as much as possible

For example, take src/g_vumeter.c. The drawing should all happen in Tcl/pd-gui. Pd should just send the values to be drawn. Same goes with g_array.c.
