hey thanks Joao,<br>your last advice - [donecanvasdialog... ( - wins by now:<br><br>- No pop-up needed (is it possible to have the same result of [vis $1( in a parent patch avoiding pop-up?)<br>- get rid of scroll bars appearing here and there<br>
- clean and neat (push 4 buttons get 4 workspaces)<br>- easy to implement<br><br>the only slightly &quot;annoying&quot; stuff is that changing every time the GOP&#39;s offset, when you close the patch you are requested to save. Is there a workaround for this?<br>
<br>Check the simple&amp;fast example attached.<br>cheers<br><br><br>M<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 3:24 PM, João Pais <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jmmmpais@googlemail.com">jmmmpais@googlemail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

much thanks everybody for pointing out those examples, that&#39;s what i needed.<br>
I will be experimenting and posting some results.<br>
the [vis $1( approach looks promising, i have to test what about clicks in<br>
sound while using it in runtime with big GOP.<br>
<br>
If anybody has still other ideas about different approaches is more than<br>
welcome.<br>
talk soon,<br>
cheers<br>

bot abstractions use this technique. You could have a parent abstraction<br>
containing gop subpatches, and then overlay them. Switch on/off their<br>
visibility with &#39;vis&#39; property messages....<br>

Ok, now I see JN, yes i know that, but i&#39;m looking for a solution within Pd<br>
itself, using only one parent patch to include and visualize different<br>
subpatches alternatively. It&#39;s about usability of a software developed in<br>
Pd, not about my personal laptop&#39;s screen resolution.<br>

 on linux and macos you can define many other workspaces to extend the<br>
size of your desk. on OSX, the software is &quot;spaces&quot;,<br>

<br>
Thanks JN,<br>
mm.. sorry dumb question, could you specify what you mean by &quot;different<br>
screen spaces&quot;?<br>
<br>
(better keep the conversation on the list so others can participate too)<br>
