To have an object/external that can load these knob SVG files into it, and then use the mouse to set a value(and knob position) between 0-1, either by dragging up/down or left/right and pressing the mouse on top of the object. It would really open up a whole new universe for Pure Data and making nice user interfaces.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab ii04i59q o9v6fnle c1et5uql hcukyx3x" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;" class="">I have been playing with coding audio stuff for a few years in c++, mostly at hobby level, and I was wondering how hard it would be to make an object like that(if possible at all), that can load an SVG files created in Inkscape?</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab ii04i59q o9v6fnle c1et5uql hcukyx3x" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Since VCV Rack is open source, I think I am going to see if I can find the code for the knob implementation this weekend, to see how it works in VCV.</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab ii04i59q o9v6fnle c1et5uql hcukyx3x" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;" class="">But first of all I am just curious about it and was looking for more experienced programmers though, especially you guys, who know a lot about PD, if it's a completely lost cause or if it is plausible idea.</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab ii04i59q o9v6fnle c1et5uql hcukyx3x" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Personally I have not yet created any Pure Data externals, but I have been looking through some of dr.
