maybe "Put" menu arrays should have an option to do this as well.
I agree on that! I once built a sequencer controlled by arrays in which I could draw amplitude-envelopes in realtime. I wasn't able to limit it to zero.
However, the array object (which I doubt is in one of the extended
libraries) is not shown in the flossmanual
list of objects.
As far as I know arrays are not objects but GUI representations of tables, so there's no object help-file for it, except for the object [table].
There is a page on arrays, graphs, and tables. But it doesn't mention the
idea of clipping the values within
an array, which I have now been reminded is done by processing the
input value using a moses.
That's a pity. I agree that it's sometimes hard to figure things out. I never read, except for today, thanks to Jonathan, that clipping arrays is not possible within the properties menu, but I thought so because I couldn't get it clipping.

There are five concurrent things that may be called objects in pd.
There's t_pd, the set of all receivers; the concept of method is defined at this level.
There's t_gobj, "graphical object", that includes anything that can appear in a canvas.
There's t_object (aka t_text), that includes anything that has inlets and outlets and then some more (comments...).
There's Ctrl+1, a Put menu item for making "Object". This excludes comments, floatbox, symbolbox, messagebox.
Then there are the object classes that don't use special representations. If you type "bng" in a Ctrl+1 box, you get a bang button, not an ordinary object box.
If you create an Array from the Put menu, then create a [s] to the receive-symbol of the array, you can send messages, and if I send the message "zzz", I get :
error: array: no method for 'zzz'
array is the classname of the object you just sent to.
