<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">I did a search for "sinesum" with my gui-plugin and got the following (ignoring some which just<br>use sinesum in an example patch):<br><br>doc/5.reference/all about arrays.pd<br><br><div>doc/5.reference/table-help.pd</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">doc/2.control.examples/15.array.pd</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div>A few points:<br>1. Pd's right-click Help is functionally useless for arrays. You have to open the<br>graph and click directly on an array element to get array-help.pd. Otherwise Pd<br>assumes (correctly) that you're clicking a canvas
and brings up canvas-help.pd.<br>I put links for arrays, subpatches, tables, etc. in the updated doc for canvas-help.pd<br>but it's still difficult to find.<br>2. Typical responses on this list (like mine above) assume the user knows how to<br>browse the "Pd docs", which are located in different places depending on your<br>system. Although the user can click <ctrl-b> to bring up a platform independent<br>doc browser, it still takes 2 clicks to get to any of the docs listed above and is<br>generally a pain in the ass to try to remember whether some doc was located in<br>"1.manual", "manuals", or god forbid "7.stuff".<br>3. Sorry about #1 and #2 above. The documentation should be a lot more<br>user-friendly than it currently is.<br><br>-Jonathan<br><br><div><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;
