I see, limited, buggy, hard learning curve and no easy step by step tutorial included for beginners...<div><br></div><div>Not to mention it has been hardly used by the vast majority of users.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to know of any tutorials or good examples out there.<div>
<br></div><div>I've just started tweaking with it to see if I finally learn it, but it's crashing a lot!!! I'm just changing arguments in the struct object and it crashes... I clicl on GOP box and it crashes... things like that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, it seems completely incomprehensible how to use them for display in a GOP subpatch or abstraction. I wonder how the hell can someone manage to do that and why is it so different than anything else on Pd? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I mean, if you check GOP, the data structuresI displayed just increase insanely in size, and in Joćo's belzier patches, they are completely out of the red graph boundaries.</div><div><br></div><div>
I'm pending to nevermind about getting myself involved with it indeed. But any guiding help is appreciated ;)</div><div><br></div><div>cheers<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/5/25 Jonathan Wilkes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jancsika@yahoo.com" target="_blank">jancsika@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>

<div><div class="im">>> They are _extremely_ limited with the current implementation.<br><br>>what do you mean by that?<br><br></div>* big resource hog-- you'll get dropouts with drawing instructions<br>or animations of any complexity<br>
* you must choose between using $0 in struct name (for locality) or<br>having flexible approach where you can save/retrieve state. (Unlike<br>a "Put" menu array where you can get both)<br>* no option to _not_ save ds state with the patch (Unlike a "Put" menu<br>

* flickering animation with arrays and/or lots of scalars on screen<br>* crashes with nested arrays when
changing struct args<br>* many other problems<br><br>Usable for making a static score/diagram that will not be encapsulated inside an<br>abstraction, and for array manipulations that don't require any drawing instructions.<br>
