Hello, Hans asked me to write up an explanation of the new tooltips in pd-extended 0.43. Attached are some patches that outline how they work. Just open tips-help.pd.
Tooltips get their tip information from the [pd META] subpatch inside the help patch for
the object. So if you want to have tooltips for your externals, or set of abstractions, make
sure you have complete help patches for all of your object classes.
Hans-- Ivica modified my original patch in the most recent build of pd-l2ork so that the
tips follow the mouse, and he put the Enter/Leave logic on the c side of things.
