Tecnically a gop doesnt have a background color. I would assume that Frank is using a Canvas object as part of the patch, and the GOP just shows you the canvas color.

this may seem like a dumb question (i did look in the docs..) but how are you setting the bg color of your GoP objects?

Adrian,
a few suggestions:
- Look into the Graph-on-Parent feature. It's in the HTML
documentation, I beleive. Frank Barknecht is doing a lot with GoP for his RRADical PD patches, like this one:

ah... this is nice. no more futzing with window size, object locations, gop size properties. too bad a can retroactively apply this knowledge and get back the many hours i've spent doing those very things :)
thanks, man! -s

Yes, I use a background canvas object. The way I do this is:
Ctrl-N => Empty patch => create cnv object => create lots of more objects => switch on GOP => resize the first cnv object to final size => remember that size => => resize the visible area of the patch to match the background cnv (important!) => save and close abstraction => Ctrl-N => Empty patch => use the first abstraction in this patch => right-click the child abstraction in this parent patch, select Properties => input the size I remembered earlier plus about 10 in height to let the abstraction name be visible => save props => open child abstraction => save it (the child abstraction) => finish.
There has been talk about a new canvas object that will specify the area that is shown on the parent patch. Above approach will allow me to just exchange my background-"cnv" with this future object when it is implemented, if necessary.
