From: Si Mills smills@rootsix.net Subject: [PD] Array Enhancements To: "puredata mailing list" pd-list@iem.at Date: Thursday, September 10, 2009, 11:14 AM Hi Hans/DEv Tem I have a couple of ideas for the Array/Table object, mainly visual: Hide Array name - doesn't seem to be working.Would it be possible to limit the array vertically? This would make manually entering values for a sequencer more usable.Allow a step value for each slider, so selecting increments is easier - I guess an Array in Pd is a array of multi-sliders in a senseExpand appearance - the array indexes could be solid barsEvent listeners - so onMouseUp over an array could trigger somethingColour properties!....
You can get all of the above (except onMouseUp behavior) using data structures. Really, there should just be a way to "deputize" a ds array as a Pd array usable by [tabread] and the like.
So if you have a subpatch with
[struct blah float x array some_array]
you could put the following in the same subpatch:
[deputize some_array]
And now [tabwrite~ some_array]
will work.
But I don't know the inner workings of Pd either, so I'm not sure how feasible this is.

I know this is probably flawed for I know not the inner technical workings of Pd, or for its purposes, there are other more suitable methods for gui interaction, but is any of this possible? cheers -----Inline Attachment Follows-----
