Alas, I must use Windows Xp as well... Anyway I have switched since about two months to having the taskbar at the top of the screen, meaning that when I create a new patch it is placed at absolute 0,0 "absolute" with the title-bar behind the taskbar (even with "always on top" option). Any tcl/tk guru know of a hack in the pd.tk file to have the new windows positioned at 0,0 "relative" to the taskbar or alternatively just sligtly offset down? Thanks, Lorenzo

If it's Pd -extended, around line 395 of pd.tk:
wm title . "Pd-extended" # initial location of Pd window (+x+y) wm geometry . +20+70
I imagine that changing +20+70 would move the window.

Sorry, I missed the bit where you're creating new patchers, not the main window. It seems like the tcl function pdtk_canvas_new() is called only from the c function canvas_vis() in g_editor.c:
sys_vgui("pdtk_canvas_new .x%lx %d %d +%d+%d %d\n", x, (int)(x->gl_screenx2 - x->gl_screenx1), (int)(x->gl_screeny2 - x->gl_screeny1), (int)(x->gl_screenx1), (int)(x->gl_screeny1), x->gl_edit);
The only place that gl_screenx2, gl_screeny2 are set is in glist_addglist():
x->gl_screenx1 = x->gl_screeny1 = 0;
x->gl_screenx2 = 450;
x->gl_screeny2 = 300;
So unless something else is going on, changing x_glscreeny1 should offset new windows vertically.
So in pdtk_canvas_new, simply adding an offset to the second element of geometry should work.
In pd.tk, line 1418 is for MacOSX: if { $pd_nt == 2 && [lindex $geometry 2] < 22 } { lset geometry 2 22 } So if you add one like this right after it for WinXP: if { $pd_nt == 1 && [lindex $geometry 2] < 55 } { lset geometry 2 55 } ...then new patcher windows will be offset 55 downwards.

Sorry to answer myself...

I had been playing with the first wm geometry $name $geometry call in pdtk_canvas_new and had overlooked there was another one some 15 lines down, so that changing the second one to something like wm geometry $name 300x250+0+35 seems to improve things.. but I'm sure it's terribly hacky, breaks something else and not at all elegant - i.e. tk gurus' wisdom still appreciated :)
Thanks, Lorenzo

Hi this is a FWD:
Can anyone look at this and see the errors?
I'm making progress in my guitar tablature writer program that I'm working for in Arturo's class. As such I have come across an obstacle I have not figured out yet. I have attached the patch to this email. Basically using the graph window that is produced by the patch I plan on differentiating between different guitar note positions using the timbre of sounds. What I need is to obtain the values that construct the graph spectrum so then I can compare the difference between notes; it seems that the information is packed, but I have not figured out a way to access it.
This kind of thing is what my timbreID library is built for. Using the [magSpec~] and [timbreID] objects he can train the system for the timbre of his guitar and try to track note positions. There's a new release here:
