<blockquote><div>You start with a struct:[struct foo float x float y canvas a b]<br></div>
<div>Then create a scalar from this struct.<br></div>
<div>The scalar will have an "x" value, a "y" value, and a canvas "a" which gets filled with the contents of an abstraction "b.pd" that is somewhere in Pd's search path.<br></div>
<div>Now here's the neat thing-- inside the newly instantiated "b.pd" you can do this:<br></div>
<div>[loadbang]|[field x]|[print x]<br></div>

When you create the scalar you get a little black box on a canvas.
With a canvas field like I described, you can right-click the scalar and choose "Open" to show a canvas window.</pre></div>

<div>while trying to create [struct foo float x float y canvas a b], i get: canvas: no such type, using pd 0.46.6<br></div>
<div>what am I missing?<br></div>
