Hallo, Robert Scott hat gesagt: // Robert Scott wrote:
I'm a relative newcomer to pd and have just about grasped the audio side of things. However, I can't seem to make any headway in using templates/structs to draw à la section 2.9 of Miller Puckette's manual.
All documentation I've found neglects tell you how to actually get your template to draw anything anywhere. If we take for example help-drawpolygon.pd, I can't find any explanation of how help-drawpolygon-data was created and what objects had to be put into it (and how) to represent the instances of the template.
Please can someone tell me it's really simple and I'm just being an idiot?
It's simple and you're not an idiot. ;)
I was told a lot of people found this tutorial useful to get to grips with data structs easier than with the official documentation. It's a step-by-step series of patches that should work you from the basics up to doing arrays (then it suddenly stops):
