Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: move cord drawing from pd to Tcl procs in pd-gui

Initial Comment: This patch replaces the raw Tcl code in the 'pd' process' C code with two Tcl procs in pdtk_canvas: draw_signal_cord and draw_message_cord. This allows for customization of the cords from GUI plugins and Pd patches. This also is a step in the direction of making the 'pd' --> 'pd-gui' communications Pd messages rather than Tcl code.

Message: I think having separate procs/messages for each connection type makes it easier to customize. And its just as easy to add a proc for any new connection type as it is to add a block to a switch or something like that. Given that no new connection types have been added to Pd since its inception, I don't think its a high priority concern.

Message: i haven't had a look yet, but wouldn't it be better to use a single tcl-proc "connect" (or "draw_cords") and specify the type of connection as an argument? this way it can be more easily expanded to other connection types.
