The Pd side of map will probably give you more or less the same place. "map" just means the window is active, I don't think it means that Pd is done drawing. I think there needs to be a way to find when Pd has stopped parsing the .pd file and sending Tcl draw commands. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'You people have such restrictive dress for women,’ she said, hobbling away in three inch heels and panty hose to finish out another pink-collar temp pool day. - “Hijab Scene #2", by Mohja Kahf _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
