I've been hoping for 20-ish years to find time to make a *unified*
slider/numbox/knob/radio object. It probably would be hard to make such
a thing perfectly compatible with all the screwy features the classical
GUIs offer (like numbers with the text sticking outside the box, ugh),
but, long-term, such a combined object could be the default "gui" menu
offerings and we could just leave all the crufty IEM GUI code as is for
back compatibility.
ALSO we need a cleaner VU meter - that would be a different object and
should be resizable to much smaller than the current minimum size. That
too could have a spanking new, clean implementation.
Anyway, I've been holding off on introducing yet one more ad-hoc GUI
device until I (or someone :) can make a properly unified GUI for
numerical controls.
cheers

Even better. Then it has been in testing for a *long* time now. ;)

I think Antoine's knob implementation is actually based on mknob, but
with lots of refinements.

I agree.
There is also the mknob from moonlib which I have actually
replicated for PdParty. I think both of these knob implementations
fit nicely with the other IEM guis.

I strongly endorse both PRs :)
Fractional zoom levels would be a game changer! The current integer
zoom
levels are pretty much useless in practice because typical scaling
factors are more like 125% or 150%.
A knob is such a basic UI element for audio applications. I really
think
this should be part of Pd vanilla and not require some external. It
isn't (only) about aesthetics; knobs have clear advantages over sliders
in many situations as they allow to map the same range into a much
smaller space. Just think about a simple mixer strip!
