[PD] Array List View

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Hi katja,Thanks!  I'll have a look at your revisions.
"tabview" sounds like a decent name, as long as it isn't used anywhere else 
in Pd-land.  Just an fyi-- I gutted all the arrayviewlist functionality for the GUI port of Pd-l2ork.
Best,Jonathan

 Hi Jonathan,

Your concept is a great improvement over built-in array list view. It
is now a very useful debug tool since you can jump to any desired
index no matter how long the array is. Thank you for this new year's
present.

I figured out some refinements. Attached version has:

- buttons: offset inc / dec by 1 or 10, set to min / max offset, refresh
- inlet for offset, refresh, and array name message
- outlets for index / value pairs and offset
- toggle to activate console printout

It is temporarily called 'arraylistview2' for evaluation, and a patch
with tests is included in the tarball. An issue with the name anyhow
is confusion between 'arraylistview' and 'arrayviewlist'. Pd's
built-in method goes with message 'arrayviewlistnew'. Maybe it could
be a completely different name, like 'tabviewer'.

Jonathan, your approach makes me realize once more how powerful Pd is
as a framework / language for dsp prototyping. Imagine a whole
collection of debug instruments along the same line, like zoom viewer,
spectrum viewer etc. Each tool would do a small job and they could be
chained together by array name and index offset. Yummy.

cheers,
Katja
