Josh,
I'm wondering about this myself, but I found a lot of information from a link sent in another thread, by Damien:
you can try xgui. It's dedicated to 2D graphics => http://dh7.free.fr
Towards the bottom of the page is documentation on PD-MSG. The docs by Krzysztof Czaja are very interesting.
What I didn't pick up on yet is where exactly to find that port/pipe to the pd core...
Cheers, adam

hello again pd people, does anyone know how/if you can listen to the messages that get sent to the pd object when you do editing on an open pd canvas? my brother has a really cool project in the works that he needs to do this for, we've poked around a little and havn't seen anything glaringly obvious.
i'm assuming that this is the way things work: tcl/tk sends raw controller info over a tcp pipe to the pd core, which then coverts that into pd messages (actions like cut, select, select file menu, etc) ... so, if i'm correct, is there a way to "sniff" those messages and use them for my own neffarious purposes?
thanks again,
-Josh
