After setting array size to 100 and the graph X bound from 0 - 99 and Y bound from 0 to 127, I drew using mouse a distribution of numbers inside the table.
OK ... first of all, what's the difference betw. size of graph and size of an array?
The array size is the number of values hold in the array, the graph size is the size of the graphic, that you see, in pixels.
Now a little problem. After saving the patch, shutting down PD and then opening the patch again, the graph Y bounds were reset (-1 to 1) although I did change them as mentioned above. Are the bounds of graph saved or do we have to reinitialize table on each time we open the patch?
Yes, you have to reinitialize all this, for example with a loadbang and an appropriate message as described in 2.control.examples/16.more.arrays.pd
The only thing that's supposed to be saved is the table's content, if you switched on "save contents" in the table's properties.
Next thing, suppose I create an array by selecting a drop down menu, then I configure graph bounds from let's say X is from 0-10 and Y is 0 to 20. When I use mouse to draw the number distribution, why does it allow me to draw numbers way above distribution I did set? I'm wondering if that's exceeding the actual size of a table I created.
If you paint or otherwise fill your table with values outside the bounds, they will indeed show up, if you read out the array/table. If it wasn't so, at least I would have to change a lot of my patches, as I'm regularily using hidden tables with values greater than 1 and I don't bother changing the default bounds, because I never have to look inside those tables.
But it's not possible to set values or paint outside the horizontal size of an array (the y-axis).
Finally, one thing would help fixing is setting up tab key such that when we deal with dialog boxes (used in defining arrays, graphs (tables) and press tab, the cursor moves from one input dialog to another.
Yes, that would be cool.
