This is a great object but you need to click on the box for it to work. The other is literally a pad (so you can click anywhere in the box and get coordinates)

I’ll investigate more and will come back with the change in all cases

There is an xy pad called "touch" in the droidparty abstractions which works on vanilla. I just tested on 0.54. It could be used or possibly checked as to why it doesn't break as compared to your abstraction.


There isn't a help patch but the creation args are: width height sendname

Dear all

As I wanted to keep FluCoMa depending only on Vanilla, I took the lazy shortcut to use a x-y abstraction for the fluid.plotter (I know I need to code it in c+tcl)

https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10854/xy-abstraction-to-get-mouse-click-and-drag-coordinates-vanilla

Now, in the last Pd, it breaks on all OSes. I thought it waste do with donecanvasdialog changes, but it doesn?t seem to be the case.

I?m asking here because I?m time-short at the moment, if nobody has found the same problem and fixed it. Otherwise I?ll respond to self when I have found time to fix it - I hope it isn?t a breaking change or at least not a problem that will need 2 versions of the abstraction depending on the Pd version?
