- Give an example, [canvasinfo] gives me "<pointer>" , using -verbose -stderr, or "(pointer)" using the Purr Data console.
FYI I never used pointers on Pd. 2) Lets skip that. 3) Lets skip, I have to do a new build to test that and it will take around 50min, I will when the new HTML stuff is ready to test.

"ds-slider.pd" is cool, also it can easly be shaped to a circle instead of square, and so on, the new [draw] is cool, but:
how do you send values to [ds-slider]?
Where are the values coming from?
Some saved presets in a list, [text], [coll] ..., eventually if not possible is ok anyway for other purpose.
There are three ways to do this:
- Screwing around with pointers. I have a [canvasinfo] object that can be used
to abstract away the ugliness. That way the user can just type a send-symbol. I can give you an example if you want. 2) Using indices in a ds-array. Fairly ugly, and not very usable for building simple graphical interfaces. 3) Using the "canvas" field and putting the [text], [coll], [adc~], etc. *inside* the scalar. The is pretty nifty, except for the fact that I just fixed a crasher with it.
