Thanks for the suggestion. I have considered this, but I really don't like the little triangle in the corner, and the space it takes up. Besides, I'm equally concerned with the symbol atom, for which there is no alternative object. ________________________________ From: Pd-list <pd-list-boun...@lists.iem.at> on behalf of oliver <oli...@klingt.org> Sent: 22 March 2018 09:40 To: pd-l...@mail.iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom
just a thought here: what about using [number2] instead of PD's native number atom in a GOP ? i was recently in a situation where i worked with my own objects on a different platform (OSX) and the patches DID look a little different, but my GOPs (which only use [number2] were consistent. i know that also [number2] size depends upon the selected font renderings, but i had the feeling it's a little more stable best oliver Roman Haefeli wrote: > On Mit, 2018-03-21 at 18:52 +0000, Liam Goodacre wrote: >> It would certainly help me to have be able to query atom sizes. > > I see your point and the benefit of such a feature.
