Ah! And I thought "fluke" was the name of a PHP library ...

I won't ask now what "strobo speed style" is though I don't know what it
is. ;)

Anyway Gem is a OpenGL graphics system for Pd. You can generate colored
boxes with Gem easily, using the programming/patching approach as for
audio or message programming in Pd.  Gem is something completely
different from Python in this context: With Python in Pd you write new
Pd objects in Python, while Gem is a collection of special purpose
objects.
