[PD] Pd complete listing of internal Pd messages? - sending to the Pd window

[Ingo]

Thanks, Dan!

 

I'll try to find something in the source code.

 

Although I can't really read or write these source codes since I have
absolutely no programming background except for Pd itself.

 

.pdwindow.text doesn't seem to be a top level window so I get error messages
when trying to do anything with it.

I tried other options that were mentioned in the source code without
success.

 

I have been going through pretty much all error messages (that makes sense
to me) from [hcs/sys_gui] when entering wrong commands on purpose.

None of those mentions "font" as an option.

 

On the Tcl/Tk font manual I can find some information but I have no idea how
to put things in a format to use it with [hcs/sys_gui] from within Pd.

https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/font.html

 

Thanks anyway!

Ingo

"Use the source, Luke."

The pd window text console is .pdwindow.text. You can send the -font command
to it in TCL: https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/options.htm#M-font

 

As for "internal Pd message" I don't believe there is one in this case as
the core doesn't send setup info on this directly to the GUI like it does
for the patch window canvases. This is why you didn't get a response yet
with the exact answer to your request: I don't believe there is one. What
you can do is use one of the GUI plugins and/or external objects which
allows you to send TCL to the GUI directly.

It would have been nice to simply find out the name of the Pd console for 
sending internal Pd messages until I get done with all of it.
Until then the software is probably not going to be usable with small
screens 
for a while. Oh well . . .
(My users don't have access to the regular Pd gui - it's a hardware box with
a 
dedicated user interface for non-programmers.)
