So I am just adding support to canvas_name and window_name for getting the names from other canvases besides the current one, i.e. parent, toplevel, etc. I am using the now standard numeric notation that is used in [getdir], iemguts, getdollarzero, etc.
What I am wondering is whether it is worth it to add symbol versions of those names too, like "parent" and "toplevel". Or perhaps it would also be useful to be able to stick the name of a canvas there too, like 'pd-mysubpatch' or 'pd-canvas_name-help.pd'. What are people's thoughts on making that part of the standard technique of looking up these kinds of things? .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
