Re: [PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element
The 1st circle is under the 2nd, you mean, under the last one? (which makes sense, since they're drawn in creation order) and Pd currently registers a click with the object at the bottom. But is that a feature or a bug? you mean the print coming from the vertex struct, giving the individual y values of each scalar in the array? that's a bit strange, never seen it. trying to adapt plot's help file doesn't replicate the behavior as well. Either way, if it's implementation specific it then writing the patch as you suggest would work correctly under one implementation while it wouldn't the move the circle at all under the other. hmm, am not really understanding what you mean. but I have to work on something else right now, can't do much more for the time being.

[PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element
Hi, I've recently started playing around with Pd's data structures, and I need some help. It's relatively straightforward to create polygons and arrays of polygons. Though, I'd like to create a closed polygon, where each vertex is another data structure. I've attached a patch of what I have so far. I basically just want there to be another line to connect the 4th element of the array back to the first. Is it possible to use a [drawpolygon] object where each of the corners would be another data structure? Thanks!

The real solution would be to add a -c flag to [plot] to draw the trace back to element 0: [plot -c etc.] And maybe -f COLOR to draw the trace back to element 0 and fill the inside. (Although that word probably be a bigger change.) -Jonathan From: Scott McCoid mccoid.sc...@gmail.com To: pd-list@iem.at Sent: Sunday, October 2, 2011 2:13 PM Subject: [PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element Hi, I've recently started playing around with Pd's data structures, and I need some help.

Re: [PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element
The documentation says you can specify a bezier curve with the first argument as curve. But you're right, you can also specify a curve by using the -c flag, which is much more logical. I think using curve should be deprecated, for the obvious ambiguity that flags solve. Miller? -Jonathan From: Scott McCoid mccoid.sc...@gmail.com To: Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com Cc: pd-list@iem.at pd-list@iem.at Sent: Sunday, October 2, 2011 4:18 PM Subject: Re: [PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element Whoa, this is great! Thanks Jonathan! Wouldn't adding the -c flag make a curved shape between each point?
