After some probing, I figured out what the table object is: its an instance of t_canvas/t_glist actually, with its own custom table_new() method. That's a pretty odd situation. I'm thinking I'll strip that out to make [table] an object in its own right, and then add inlets like [tabwrite] and an outlet like [tabread]. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer science is no more related to the computer than astronomy is related to the telescope. -Edsger Dykstra _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
