Anyone know how to use the [relocate( message? It seems to take two symbol arguments which are geometries like this: 234+534+123+345
But when I try to send a message to a patch, I get "consistency check failed: canvas_relocate"

replace the first "+" by an "x", so that you actually follow the syntax of X11 "geometries". However pd doesn't follow the X11 standard completely, as it doesn't accept 234x534-123-345 and such, which compute position from the bottom and/or righthand edge of the screen.

canvas_relocate says that whenever you get any of its arguments wrong, which probably means that Miller doesn't want you to use it; but don't we all know what happens to features that Miller doesn't want us to use... ;-)

Ok, I can get Pd to accept the message without complaining, but I can't get it to do anything yet. I sent [relocate 50x50+400+400 40x40+500+500( and such messages. I have a subpatch called PAGE2 and I am sending the message to pd-PAGE2.
What I want to do is programmatically resize and relocation the window. I am assuming this is the way to do it. Any other hints?
Oh yeah, also, I printed the messages from [tot], but I didn't see any relocate messages.
