Hey Si,

Lots of good ideas there. They are all possible, they would probably all require changes on the C side as well as the Tcl side, but nothing too bad. My dev activities right now are focused on tying up all the loose ends with the new GUI, so I won't be able to take on anything new like this. That said, while I am immersed in this, it would be a great time to try your hand at it since I can make adjustments to the GUI code to make these kinds of things possible.

One place to start would be color properties, since that can happen in only Tcl. The array elements now have a Tk tag 'array' so you can configure them. Check out the included plugin that does just that pd/ startup/disabled/editmode_look.tcl.

Hi Hans/DEv Tem

I have a couple of ideas for the Array/Table object, mainly visual:

Hide Array name - doesn't seem to be working.
Would it be possible to limit the array vertically? This would make manually entering values for a sequencer more usable. Allow a step value for each slider, so selecting increments is easier - I guess an Array in Pd is a array of multi-sliders in a sense
Expand appearance - the array indexes could be solid bars
Event listeners - so onMouseUp over an array could trigger something
Colour properties!
....

I know this is probably flawed for I know not the inner technical workings of Pd, or for its purposes, there are other more suitable methods for gui interaction, but is any of this possible?

cheers
