[PD] donecanvasdialog documentation? - for M. Puckette

[João Miguel Pais]

Hi Mr. Puckette,

I'm replying to Frank's message in the list. Can you comment on the  
statement he made about the stability of donecanvasdialog? Are you  
thinking about replacing donecanvasdialog for something else that has the  
same (and hopefully better) functions, or just to remove the possibilities  
at all? I find it to be a quite interesting feature, as it allows for  
better custom-made abstractions (beauty is not a sin).

Thanks,

Joao

PS [copied from another mail I just sent to the list]:
By the way, how about if arrays also save their display characteristics?  
Ticks, numbers, etc.? I guess it shouldn't be hard to built in, right?
