</div>Hi Esteban,<br>
If your abstraction is named "foo.pd", then make a help patch named "foo-help.pd"<br>
and put a [pd META] subpatch in it. Inside the subpatch, make a <ctrl-5> comment<br>
with this text:<br>
INLET_0 Put your inlet name here<br>
<br>
That will display "Put your inlet name here" when you hover over the leftmost inlet<br>
in "Autotips" mode. (You can address the other inlets with INLET_1, INLET_2, etc.,<br>
as well as OUTLET_0, etc.)<br>
<br>
<br>
I could have made it a lot easier by searching the abstraction itself for the info to<br>
display in the tip, but I _really_ want to discourage the practice of using the<br>
abstraction as its own documentation since that excludes the possibility for an<br>
example patch (which IMO is the most important part of the help patch).<br>
<br>
<br>
You can find more info on the pd META stuff in doc/5.reference/all_about_pd_META.pd<br>
or just use Help->Search for "all about pd META"<br>
<br>

>Second: In pd-extended .43.4, when I try to use a canvas with graph on parents, I can't see the inlets and outlets.. Is as if graph on parents is below of the canvas object, I'm sending an objects to explain better this issue.<br>
