[PD] array data in abstractions

[Frank Barknecht]

Hallo,

What I would do is to move the array out of the abstraction into the
parent and pass its name as abstraction argument. Example:

This is in abstract.pd: 

 [tabread $1] 

and in parent.pd you pass the array name into $1:

 [table t1] 
 [abstract t1] 

 [table t2] 
 [abstract t2] 

 [table t3] 
 [abstract t3] 

 [table t4] 
 [abstract t4] 

Ciao
