Unfortunately, that's fairly verbose documentation for a pure data external.
(But it looks to
me like it's Inlet 4-- which version of Gridflow are you using?)
You might try posting this on the pd-list at [email protected] . The GF author
reads/posts
there and can probably flesh out the documentation directly.
