while i don't know the real intention behind segmented patch chords, but i have a strong feeling that they are supposed to increase readability. however, in practice i find that generally they reduce readability. this is most likely a problem with the users and not with the feature per se. > Of course segmentation can be confusing, where many patch coords > originating from multiple locations and GOING to multiple locations > may be overlayed on the same row/column pixel (so it looks as one > patch coord), and this is definitely makes reading a complex patch > harder, i guess about 95% of patches with segmented patch-chords that i have seen do it like this. this is why i don't want to encourage users to use it. however, as said before, if there was a flag where i could turn off all the carefully laid-out segmentation (per patch, per pd-instance,...), i could be happy still :-) fgmasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
