I read:
(1) In gui-menue.pd, there is what appears to be some sort of canvas objects, but it shows only a grey rectangle, and I am not sure what its purpose is. How do I create such a canvas object, and what does it do? The right-click menu for this object does not have the "properties" enabled.
there should be a hot spot in the upper left corner of the canvas which will open a properties dialog when right clicked where you can set the dimensions, label text and font
(2) In 7-quis-INTRO.pd, how are those red boundary lines drawn?
they are just very thin canvasses
(3) In many of the IEM help canvases, there are some title drawn in different fonts and colors than the normal PD comments. How is this
see (1)
hope that helps,

Thanks very much for the help, CK. So, after now finding the hotspot and looking at the properties for the canvas object, I conclude that it is really only designed to display a single label in a single font and a single color. From its name, I was thinking it was a sort of general purpose display area where a number of graphics could somehow be displayed.
Not a big problem - I will try graphically adjoining a number of these for my purposes....
(Or let me me know, of course, if my understanding is not correct...)
