or you setup your patch with a configuration file, where all the values are stored. It's the same idea as querying the .pd file itself, but cleaner.

But this is a good idea, you should make a request to Miller for it.

I don't think that there's an external for this, but if it's voodoo you're after, you could load the .pd file into [text] and then query the last line. "#X coords ..." will give you the starting values of the GOP settings.

yeah, that's my plan B. i was hoping for something straight-forward to achieve this. anyway it's not a big issue.

i was just hoping, that since you can SEND a complete coordinates message to a namecanvas, that it might work the other way round, too.

thanks for all replies !

*Subject:* [PD] get GOP margins ? ...
hi,
 is there any way to query a GOP's full coordinates ?
 i'm looking specifically for the margin values to do some nested GOP
mouse tracking.
 i tried IEMGUTS [canvasposition] but, that only outputs the GOP's size,
not its margins.
 [receivecanvas] ---> setbounds only outputs the coordinates of a real
canvas, not a GOP
  may there be any undocumented voodoo method out there ?
 best
 oliver
