I did something like that with data structures to get an array where the y is the index and the x is the 

value at that index-- basically a "Put" menu array turned 90-degrees clockwise.  The scalar is in a 

gop canvas with an inlet/outlet to connect between objects.  When dsp is off (or all signals are zero) 

it looks like a normal patch.  When dsp is on, all the wires animate to show the signal going through them.  

I could even turn animation on/off by clicking.

The problem is that most interesting patches don't keep the signal in the -1 1 range the entire time-- for 

example, with FM synthesis either the modulation index animates all over the place, or you just scale it 

(in which case x/y labels become necessary, which will clutter the patch).

I think the patch might be posted somewhere on this list.
