<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.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>and any prospects of that stuff making it into vanilla or pd-ext, for the non-unix users out there?</div></body></html>
