I wrote a patch for a canvas "get" method: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3308027&group_id=55736&atid=478072 The downside: whatever the programming equivalent of "through-composed" is, that would describe the way I coded this. matju gave me some suggestions for making it easier to register the symbols for the attributes. Also for iemguis, you probably want the results to be sent by default to a 2nd outlet which you would add to the object. (I think there's a patched version of [tgl] on the tracker that does this.) One other downside: the only practical way I've found to print _all_ properties in response to one message is as a sequence of messages that flow from the outlet or specified receive-name. If you try to use such objects recursively Pd won't catch your buffer-overflow mistakes: [r oops] | [60 1, 61 1, 62 1, 63 1, flush( | [bag] | [s oops] -Jonathan > > >Would appreciate help or leads to workitout. > > >Thanks > > >D >_______________________________________________ >[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
