Hi Matti,I've been porting Pd-l2ork to a different GUI toolkit, and I now have
the core
Pd functionality up and running with an abstract API to communicate with the
GUI. In other words, all the tcl commands inside sys_gui and sys_vgui have
been replaced with a parameterized function call that sends strings, numbers,
floats, and arrays to the GUI.
Even so, Pd is still way too chatty with the GUI-- for example, creating a new
object doesn't just send a single message to the GUI. It sends at least 13
messages in Pd Vanilla, more if your object has multiple inlets and outlets.
It's not impossible to wrap that, but it is certainly will slow down the
process.
This is especially true given that Pd has no HIG or spec regarding GUI
behavior. You're going to hit some counter-intuitive features of GOP, garrays,
font sizing, and a lot else in the midst of wrapping.

Hi,
Is it possible to get Pd GUI through Pd API in order to be able to display it
in a “wrapper program” for Pd?
We’re looking to develop a wrapper over Pd and we’d like to be able to display
the Pd Editor as well.
