[PD] Re: [PD-dev] Circular Line object?

[pix]

hey, cool problem... 

it's not really a dev question tho, because you can do it within pd with
some number juggling. attached is an example.

it just gets every number into a form which is +/- 180 from the last known
value of the line (which is run through mod so it is always 0-360).
