I was looking around online and saw this website: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/ if you scroll down to the "velocity" category, and click on cables, it bring up a very interesting idea. Is there an extern that makes one of the following:
- colored cables (in the main window, not some gui thing. but in the place where most patches are normally made).
OR 2. Swooping cables (i think this would be rather bothersome though, having cables swoop all over the place, etc.) thanks, Robert

ix_0_39 has colored cables: http://whats-your.name/pd/gui/q.PNG
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co pd/ cd pd/src && wget http://whats-your.name/pd/ix039.patch && patch -p0 < ix039.patch
to set colors, either edit the top of pd.tk in the ::pdtheme section, or while its running, eg: set ::pdtheme::object greeen , then refresh the window (minimizing/unminimizing will do.)
OR 2. Swooping cables (i think this would be rather bothersome though, having cables swoop all over the place, etc.)
seen that in a number of VST plugins like MOOG/ARP simulations..you could do it in pd, but it would be a lot of work , id want to wait until the GUI wasnt so embedded in the C..you could proably get it looking similar to that with a bit of work in TkZinc..
thanks, Robert

Very cool! (After I replaced the terrible purple with my preferred terrible orange.)
Forgive one quick question which might show, that I don't use Pd 0.38 yet: The reworked array drawing with bezier curves and "List view" - is this only in your version or also in Pd 0.38? It's so darn great!!

Nevermind, I found out about this myself by compiling plain pd-0.38

sori, i can't locate theme sections in pd.tk where is it? i really like to have fancy colored objects thx

It's right at the start of pd.tk:
#!/usr/bin/wish
namespace eval ::pdtheme { set border orange set bg gray50 set box green set line pink set object #88ccff set message orange set inlet white set outlet red set atom yellow set graph red set text white set selected green set lasso green
tk_setPalette $border
}
If you cannot see this, then you're probably not running ix_pd

Coloured cables could be useful to help resolve which chord goes where in crowded areas of a patch, for sure.

NO THANKS!! I remember auditioning Arturia Moog Modular V. The cables worked in that because there was room for them (MMV takes up the whole screen), and they were in keeping with the look of the original Moog on which the softsynth was based, but they *did* get in the way and they *were* cumbersome. I pretty soon switched off all the hardware look-a-like features.
I'd hate to see Pd adopt cables like that. I'm very happy with Pd the way it is now, actually. What's the point of trying to emulate hardware when you're using software, anyway? Better to make the GUI as useful as possible for its required task rather than add pretty features that are unnecessary and possibly counterproductive.
As well as being able to colour-code the chords in Pd, it may be nice to be able to put kinks in them if it makes them easier to track. A system similar to that used in electronic circuit diagrams, for example, might be useful in crowded areas of a patch. But then again it might not.

Another proposal is to have a limitation of choords per patch to avoid crowded areas. This would force people to factorize functionality and lead to better structured patches. It should be easy then to follow the patch coords.

hehe like the m$ word footnote limit ;)

nope this would force people to patch the source
lead to better structured patches. It should be easy then to follow the patch coords.
if you can't do it now, no limits or segments or whatever will help TM
