I think there's only a very stupid, short-sighted reason: since numbers never have descenders, it wasn't necessary to add a pixel of whitespace underneath the rendered string. I was intent on reducing the size of everything to its absolute minimum.
I was forgetting about (or maybe not anticipating) "symbol" boxes - it's easy to make symbol box text collide with the box's outlet. And "|" characters can hit the bottom edge of the box even away from the outlet. cheers Miller On Sun, Sep 17, 2017 at 11:10:50PM +0200, Dan Wilcox wrote: > Is there a reason why atoms and slightly shorter in height than object boxes, > at least on macOS? > > I'm not asking for the technical reason, as I know in the code why this is, > but more the conceptual reason, or is it a bug? > > -------- > Dan Wilcox > @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> > danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> > robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
