<div>Dear list,<br>

First of all i'd like to say that i'm very impressed
by the potential of data structures in Pd. I've always
kind of ignored this feature and it's a pity because
it's really worth diving into it. <br>
</div>
That being said I think that help and example patches
are far from sufficient for beginners, and if it wasn't
for Chris McCormick's s-abstractions I would have been
able to really figure out how to use them (stuff like
how to make an entire polygon draggable, how to use GOP
with proper scaling, etc.).<br>

It's not just the documentation, it's the interface. Having to walk
linked-lists of graphically unlinked objects is bad. Having to use
boilerplate to find the head of a glist just to create a scalar is
bad.<br>
<br>
I think Pd-l2ork is getting close to a release with my new data
structure stuff in it. It's a first step at addressing some of
these issues.<br>

I m now stuck with a question. How can I identify the
element which was just clicked ? I know that [struc]
outputs the events, like click, selection and change, but
I thought I could identify individual elements by their
pointer id. It turns out that I get the same pointer for
every element, although I created them sequentially (using
[append]).<br>
<br>
</div>
(I guess something must be escaping me about pointers...
I've noticed that within the same template, I get different
pointers for elements on different y-levels, but the same
pointer for all the element on the same y-level regardless
of their x.)<br>

Cheers,<br>
