What references are > recommended for experimenting with this? that's probably the most nasty part of toxy, its got its own preprocessing syntax on top of normal TCL with special additions for arguments from pd, widget/canvas IDs, etc, and the widget source code is read by the server, then processed and sent to the client (so scripts longer than the max pd message size get truncated) an autogenerated '--usage' message responder would probably need some hints to be more useful and efficient than just reading the widget's source.. can you instantiate PD objects via right clicking on the canvas yet? toxy registering all the avilable widgets in a user-GUI submenu of that menu's class-browser model sounds like the way to go.. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
