I can't (or don't know how to) test these patches. But I would suggest
something else, in case it's somehow related:
arrays, that output the pointer and index for the element in question.
Then it's possible to link user interaction with arrays as well
Hi List, More "Put" menu array fun:
- settable colors for the trace + "jump on click" action
http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/array-in-color/view
- bar graph with settable outline/fill colors
http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/bargraph-array/view
- resizing bar graph
http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/bargraph-sinesum/view
- multiple colored arrays in one graph
http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/two-arrays/view
plus:
savable colors for "Put" menu arrays
html-style color symbols savable in last two args to [plot]
Please test. Data structure "bargraph" arrays probably look a little screwy-- haven't worked on those yet.
