Hi all,
I am reading in configuration data from a device, translating that into a network of PD objects and sending messages to a sub-patch (using pd-msg) to effectively 'draw' the configuration for the user in the sub-patch. As it is clear that you can send messages to a PD patch/sub-patch to draw and manipulate objects this part is not a problem.
However, if / when the user changes anything in that sub-patch I want to be able to receive a list of what is in the sub-patch and how they are connected so that I can send the updated configuration to the device. This I have no clue how to do!
So... is there a way to receive the contents/connections in a sub-patch in the form of pd messages, e.g. 'obj x y ....', 'msg x y ....', 'connect 0 1 0 2', etc.
Thanks in advance,
Padraig Kitterick
