Thanks for the suggestion. I have considered this, but I really don't like the little triangle in the corner, and the space it takes up. Besides, I'm equally concerned with the symbol atom, for which there is no alternative object. ________________________________ From: Pd-list pd-list-bounces@lists.iem.at on behalf of oliver oliver@klingt.org Sent: 22 March 2018 09:40 To: pd-list@mail.iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom
just a thought here:
what about using [number2] instead of PD's native number atom in a GOP ?
i was recently in a situation where i worked with my own objects on a different platform (OSX) and the patches DID look a little different, but my GOPs (which only use [number2] were consistent.
i know that also [number2] size depends upon the selected font renderings, but i had the feeling it's a little more stable
best

It would certainly help me to have be able to query atom sizes.
I see your point and the benefit of such a feature. Independent of that, I'd like to be able to count on consistent box sizes across platforms and future Pd versions.
BTW, we are talking about two different things here: font size and atom size. What is the relationship between them? In 0.48.1, the atom appears to have increased in height, suggesting that they are not always proportional.
Right. I was assuming those would be related, but my main concern is about box size, exactly because of fitting atoms into GOP areas.
