Fellows,
Sorry to ask such a newbie question.
Over the last few weeks I've been fiddling with PD, so many times have I questioned the difference between number boxes (Ctrl+3) and number2 (Ctrl+Shift+n), and then gave up not finding an answer.
Other than subtle difference in behavior, I could not tell the difference. Is the significance of number2 documented anywhere?
there is (almost) no significant difference in functionality between the 2 number boxes.
numberbox2 has more GUI-options (colors!), and back then when it was implemented, the "normal" numberbox had no send/receivers nor a "label". numberbox2 is part of the iemguis (along with the sliders, toggles, radiobuttons,...). the existance of both objects is merely historical.
