I have revised almost all of the help <br>patches for vanilla objects to conform to the PDDP template created a few years back. Each patch lists <br>info for xlets, args, and related objects and has a [pd META] subpatch with info that can be used if <br>someone makes a plug-in to search for objects (I made a simple patch called search-test.pd as a demo).<br><br>All patches are the same size and are located at origin 0,0 (top left of screen) so that at least part of the <br>patch will be visible at any screen resolution. Each patch also has a pddplink at the bottom left to a general <br>"Help" patch (pddp/help.pd) that links to:<br>* a help page for the pd help system<br>* the Pd
Manual<br>* various tutorials (control, audio, intro to gem, dynamic patching, etc.)<br>* other resources like the all_about_* patches (which I've revised and added to)<br><br>There is also a decent attempt at cross-referencing, so that, for example, the help patch for delread~ <br>has a pddplink to the audio tutorials where that object is used (G01, G02, G05). Each help patch also has <br>a link to the respective pdpedia web page (although I'm not sure that this will turn out to be all that useful).<br><br>I'm also in the middle of adding [pd META] tags to all the externals included in pd-ext, as well as creating <br>help patches for the objects that don't currently have one.<br><br><span>The patches are all at: <a target="_blank" href="http://puredata.info/Members/jwilkes/doc/at_download/file">http://puredata.info/Members/jwilkes/doc/at_download/file</a></span><br><br>As I said in my email on the user list, I've never used SVN before, but I'm
happy to learn it if that's the <br>easiest way to get them into pd-ext. As for the revisions of external help patches, I'm not sure what the <br>best way is to implement my changes, since those help patches belong to their respective developers.<br><br>I would appreciate suggestions anyone has on the best way to proceed.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Jonathan<br></div><br>
