I always considered a canvas (meant as a pd window i.e. a patch or
subpatch) and a [cnv] object (the graphical object with a background
color and a label) as two completely different and unrelated things that
just happen to be both called "canvas". Is it so, or is there some more
subtle relation between them, perhaps in the way they are implemented at
a lower level?
They have nothing to do with each other. In a bout of frustration about
this deliberate misnaming, I nicknamed the latter "can'tvas", but when I'm
more serious, I call it [cnv] and pretend that the letters "cnv" don't
stand for anything at all. As a backronym, though, I'm tempted to say
"Couldn't Name Vigilantly" or "Confuses Notably the Vocabulary".
