I don't know about arrays, but graphical data structures definitely set Pd apart from Max, Csound, SuperCollider, Reaktor, Reason, etc. etc.
Unfortunately I don't know a good tutorial; graphical data structures take a minute to learn and a lifetime to master.
The html manual has most of the basics, although some important features were added recently to make them far better. You can put the -x flag in [drawpolygon], [drawcurve], [filledpolygon], and [filledcurve] to prevent the resulting object from being selected in edit mode. Because of this, in my sequencer, I can now move notes without selecting barlines. A nice feature would be the same -x flag for [drawnumber]...
I agree that sexism is not a good thing to talk about here; but it's one of the hardest things for people not to talk about, eh?

That's a good thing to talk about, graphical data structures. I
was looking for a tutorial on this last week, Some one in my class
had built an additive synthesizer that could be manipulated
graphically. He had figured this out from a Pd online tutorial but I
could not find such a tutorial on the web. Any one know of such a
tutorial Seems to me that this and arrays is what sets Pd apart from
MaxMSP.
