It's my belief that gobj_shouldvis() is true if the object should be visible on the screen, and that glist_isvisible() is on if the glist has actually been drawn (which is not yet true while the glist is first being drawn). So I think you should check gobj_shouldvis() and
not glist_isvisible().

Hello

I am struggling with a real understanding of when to redraw my 2 flucoma GUI 
objects. At the moment, I get them to behave most of the time…

Tldr: why is glist_isvisible 0 when a window hosting my gui is in the 
background at load time?

Any help/good practice/tutorial welcome.

The long read:

At the moment I check the status of glist_isvisible && gobj_shouldvis and print when 
both are on (&& vis flag of my own object)

It works all the time, except:

1. When I load the patch saved with a [pd patcher] with the gui on (that window 
opens, but the gui doesn’t draw, by opposition to native ones)

2. When I close that subpatch window and reopen it, it is not drawn.

3. When I zoom in/out

In both cases it calls my _draw method but the flag glist_isvisible is 0 (with 
the added ‘fun’ of calling the draw function twice when I zoom in or out, once 
with the flag 1 and right after with the flag 0

What have I done wrong? The source code is online, I can send a link….
