Hi Esteban, If your abstraction is named "foo.pd", then make a help patch named "foo-help.pd" and put a [pd META] subpatch in it. Inside the subpatch, make a <ctrl-5> comment with this text: INLET_0 Put your inlet name here That will display "Put your inlet name here" when you hover over the leftmost inlet in "Autotips" mode. (You can address the other inlets with INLET_1, INLET_2, etc., as well as OUTLET_0, etc.) I could have made it a lot easier by searching the abstraction itself for the info to display in the tip, but I _really_ want to discourage the practice of using the abstraction as its own documentation since that excludes the possibility for an example patch (which IMO is the most important part of the help patch). You can find more info on the pd META stuff in doc/5.reference/all_about_pd_META.pd or just use Help->Search for "all about pd META" -Jonathan > > >Second: In pd-extended .43.4, when I try to use a canvas with graph on >parents, I can't see the inlets and outlets..
