There are some basics, like trying not to hide wires and avoid ambiguous placement of objects/wires, but at some point it becomes a wasted conversation because box widths and therefore wire positions/angles can vary based available fonts and how the windowing system renders them. So a patch on one system can look "tidy", while different fonts (or different rendering of the same font) can introduce an ambiguity on a different system. -Jonathan > > But if you really want to hide things, you can hide both the connections and > the > ordinary objects by using the Graph-on-Parent (GOP) feature of subpatches and > abstractions. > > ______________________________________________________________________ > | Mathieu BOUCHARD ----- téléphone : +1.514.383.3801 ----- Montréal, QC > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
