If you want creating arrays just for creating someting like buffers or look-up tables, and donot have a frequent need of those graph feature, "table" object is much more easier way to creating arrays.

Hi Olaf

since pd 0.32 I also have problems with putting arrays (using WinNT). 'put' works but all arrays appear at the same position in the patch and can't be moved seperately. So I get a pile of arrays on top of each other... Copying them from another patch works.

I think it has always been like this (or as far as I can remember). I also use the 'copy from other window' routine to avoid that arrays are place on top of each other. Is there a way around this (anybody?)?

Arrays are usually being put inside a graph. So your first array gets a graph to live in. Since you don't provide another graph, the next array you create is being crammed into the same graph. (am I right with this thinking? looks like this anyways....)

Solution: create a graph before you create an array. Graphs you can move around.

But then, I'm on linux... I assume pd behaves similarly in NT.
