Dear list,
First of all i'd like to say that i'm very impressed by the potential
of data structures in Pd. I've always kind of ignored this feature and
it's a pity because it's really worth diving into it.
That being said I think that help and example patches are far from
sufficient for beginners, and if it wasn't for Chris McCormick's
s-abstractions I would have been able to really figure out how to use
them (stuff like how to make an entire polygon draggable, how to use
GOP with proper scaling, etc.).
It's not just the documentation, it's the interface. Having to walk
linked-lists of graphically unlinked objects is bad. Having to use
boilerplate to find the head of a glist just to create a scalar is bad.
I think Pd-l2ork is getting close to a release with my new data
structure stuff in it. It's a first step at addressing some of these
issues.

I m now stuck with a question. How can I identify the element which
was just clicked ? I know that [struc] outputs the events, like click,
selection and change, but I thought I could identify individual
elements by their pointer id. It turns out that I get the same pointer
for every element, although I created them sequentially (using [append]).
(I guess something must be escaping me about pointers... I've noticed
that within the same template, I get different pointers for elements
on different y-levels, but the same pointer for all the element on the
same y-level regardless of their x.)
Cheers,
Pierre
