much thanks everybody for pointing out those examples, that's what i needed. I will be experimenting and posting some results.
the [vis $1( approach looks promising, i have to test what about clicks in sound while using it in runtime with big GOP.

If anybody has still other ideas about different approaches is more than welcome.
talk soon,
cheers


Marco

bot abstractions use this technique. You could have a parent abstraction containing gop subpatches, and then overlay them. Switch on/off their visibility with 'vis' property messages....

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

on linux and macos you can define many other workspaces to extend the size of your desk. on OSX, the software is "spaces",

Thanks JN,
mm.. sorry dumb question, could you specify what you mean by "different screen spaces"?

(better keep the conversation on the list so others can participate too)

did you try to work with diffrent screen spaces ( on linux and macosx) ?
