[PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom

[Liam Goodacre]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have considered this, but I really don't like the little triangle in the corner, and the space it takes up. Besides, I'm equally concerned with the symbol atom, for which there is no alternative object.

just a thought here:

what about using [number2] instead of PD's native number atom in a GOP ?

i was recently in a situation where i worked with my own objects on a
different platform (OSX) and the patches DID look a little different,
but my GOPs (which only use [number2] were consistent.

i know that also [number2] size depends upon the selected font
renderings, but i had the feeling it's a little more stable

best
