[PD] how to emulate mouse left-click to canvas?

[Dan Wilcox]

Looking in g_canvas.c, canvas can take a "click" message followed by 5 floats. The arguments are "t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt" but it none of those are used, at least by the following function:

static void canvas_click(t_canvas *x,
    t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos,
        t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt)
{
    canvas_vis(x, 1);
}

It seems to only make the canvas visible, so try sending "click 0 0 0 0 0" to a named canvas...
