hi
the patch i am woking on creates subpatches dynamically. now the window-position of such a subpatch is always on top-left (default), also the size is just the default. i wonder, if one can adjust these values by sending messages to the subpacthes, as you can visualize a subpatch by sending it a [; pd-subpatch vis s(-msg. any suggestions are welcome.

i am still working/searching on this and haven't found a working solution yet. please, please forgive me and my donkey like stubborness. i went trough the pd-msg-doc and didn't find anything refering this topic. but by fooling around with msgs to pd/patches, i found out something. the following msg:
[; #N canvas 200 200 200 200 subpatch 0; #X msg 20 20 hello world; #X restore 30 30 pd subpatch; pd-subpatch vis 1;(
does actually what i want, but suddenly it causes pd to crash immediately. although pd has already crashed, i can see on winxp, that pd created a new window at the specified position with the specified size (with the name 'x94fc70'), because all windows are closed only after klicking 'ok' in the funny 'pd.exe hat ein problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden'-popup. on linux pd closes immediately after sending this msg. does anybody have an idea what to change so that pd does not crash?
i also had the idea that it's maybe possible to find out all kinds of msgs to pd/patch with [r pd] or [r pd-patch.pd], but it turned out that it works when you turn audio on/off (you get 'dsp 1/0'), but with [r pd-patch.pd] i didn't get any msg at all. wouldn't be that a nice feature, to make all actions in pd available with [r pd-patch.pd]? think of all the new possibilities, that would provide.......
good night roman
