and to do better all those things Frank said (which are quite useful), you
can send a donecanvasdialog message to the patch window, with all these
parameters in a funny order. I'm not sure if there's an explanation patch
in the manuals.
I am having a hard time understanding what is the purpose of following options on the canvas properties window. they apparently have no effect on 0.42.5:
X units per pixel Y units per pixel
and
X range from/to Y range from/to
They are used in graph on parent (GOP) subpatches/abstractions and with
canvases displaying data structures (DS). Maybe they are used somewhere else,
too, but these are the cases, where I have changed these properties.For data structures you can scale the displayed values by changing the
X/Y units settings. A common use is to invert the y-axis so larger values are painted above smaller ones.X/Y ranges come into play with GOP: If you have a canvas with a DS
inside, you often want to make the ranges be the same as the X/Y "size" of the canvas.Ciao
