Hi list,

Purr Data 2.8.0 has been released and is now available:

https://github.com/jonwwilkes/purr-data/releases/tag/2.8.0

Changes:

• Constrained dragging. Version 2.8.0 adds the ability to drag iemguis,

subpatches, graphs, grid, and Scope~, with a constraint either vertically or horizontally. There are new cursors that show up when the user moves the pointer along the bottom right-hand corners of these objects. Clicking when the "east-west" cursor is displayed will resize the widget in the horizontal direction. Clicking when the "north-south" cursor is displayed will resize in the vertical direction.

Iemgui labels and the [cnv] object also allow constrained dragging. Just move the pointer in the corners of the little "drag rectangle" that appears when the relevant iemgui is selected. (The [cnv] object and the red gop rectangle have two such "drag rectangles.")

• Fixed bug with scalar events. In some cases opening a subpatch

could unbind the event for the scalar.

• Improved help patch for [line] object. The new help file does a

better job explaining the function of the 3rd inlet and specifies what happens when the grain size doesn't divide evenly into the total ramp duration.

• Added a "footgun" GUI preset. A user stated that Max/MSP lets

the user selectively hide cords. Well, in Purr Data we let the user hide _all_ cords and xlets with the "footgun" preset. The name is self-documenting but may come in handy for patches with so much spaghetti that the text in the object boxes is unreadable.

Please report all bugs on the issue tracker:
