[PD] access to pd table from another application

[Billy Stiltner]

Hey
Is there a way for pd to expose it's tables to another application and
have both applications able to modify the table. For instance I would
like to make a graphical interface to a patch using juce.
I would like to be able to draw something in a graph in juce and have
the table in pd instantly(as fast as drawing on a graph in pd) update.
Would I have to compile the juce program as an external? Or is there a
way for them to both read and write to the same data without compiling
as an external? My programming skills are a bit rusty but I would like
to get back to programming.
