Hi Jonathan,

I found it following this path : help for [tabwrite] --> More_Info --> all_about_arrays --> Common uses for arrays in Pd
Bummer, I thought somebody would come up with a secret table manipulation technique that would make this statement true...

Cheers,

Pierre.

From that help patch:
#X text 12 115 HELP_PATCH_AUTHORS Updated for Pd 0.38-2. Jonathan Wilkes
revised the patch to conform to the PDDP template for Pd version 0.42.

I did the refactoring of that patch, but I'm not sure who wrote what you're quoting.

I'd say that statement is false and should be removed.

Dear list,

I am working on a small patch which stores simple events in a table to trigger sounds later on.
I would like to be able to edit the content of my table easily, which requires scrolling it, zooming in, and eventually editing the content.

I have found away of scrolling the content, but it is very slow with relatively big tables (hem, even with a table with 20 000 samples...). Please see the example attached.

I have 2 questions :
1) Is there a more efficient way of doing this ? Copying only part of the content is worse (i've tried).
2) Can I prevent the content of the table from spilling over the table to right of the left ? I get the same behaviour in a GOP, and putting a canvas next to the table to cover it doesn't work because the table content gets redrawn on top of it.

This leads me to a more general question about something i've found in the help :
"5 Wave editing: with proper manipulation of array data, Pd can be fully functional wave editor, complete with mouse-clickable cut-n-paste, pitch-shift, time expansion, down/upsampling, and other tools typically found in commercial wave editors."
This has always sounded very appealing to me, but i wonder how realistic this statement is... unless i'm ignoring 80 % of what can be done with tables in Pd.

Cheers,

Pierre.
