You don't need any table for making cool looking graph on parent patches. My tutorial is a bit too short and just deals with lineing up elements in the most simple way, but it expects some prior knowledge about graph on parent. For a really good introduction to graph on parent in general I recommend Chun Lee's GOP howto:
rock on, i'm reading it now.. i guess it's still hazy, i'm gonna work with it a bit more.
Additionally I would recommend to always use a background [cnv] because then you don't need to check the *.pd file's text source to find the width/height dimensions to use for resizing the patch in the parent patch. Instead you can just look at the [cnv] object's Properties dialog to see the width/height of the GOP patch.
i keep forgetting that there are lots of tidbits inside the actual .pd file if i would read it with a text editor, but i haven't transvexed my way there yet, so your info is one for the memory banks.
aight, thanks for the link to that gop helpme. -andy
