You could also use data structures for this instead of a cnv. For an
example check out the help-files for the mean-calculating
objects in the [list]-abs collection: [list-mean],
[list-geometric-mean] and [list-arithmetic-mean] and [list-centroid]

The trick is to hide a [pd ...] subpatch with GOP enabled behind the
array. GOP subpatches with data structures inside are a bit tricky:
You should manually set the Properties of the subpatch with the
context menu to use a 1/1 mapping of ranges to pixels like:

X range: 0 to 200 size: 200
Y range: 0 to 140 size: 140

The numbers in range and size (200 rsp. 140) should be the same for a
1/1 mapping.

Ciao
