Hi there,

I could not find documentation about what text string is written when this or that object is created in a patch. The typical resource a dynamical patcher would look for, but in my case it's rather to access unreachable parameters like z-plane concept handling.

Any idea ?

Thank you,

Nau

Ah! Perhaps you will find 50.pure_data_files.pd in the pd-extended manuals useful..

It can be found under Help->Manuals->0.intro

Have fun

Thank you for this nice patch. As incredible as it seems, I never visited this directory on my hdd, and was missing so many nice examples ! Thanks again.

But what I'm looking for is a document 'saying what "text file arguments" makes what in a given object'. Or maybe are there kind of 'standard templates' ?

Haven't seen one.
I might misunderstand you, but if you click on the 'bang' message on that patch, and look at the console, you can see what arguments (message) produces what on the new canvas.

eg.
#X msg 191 213 rewind

..produces a message box (object) at x coord 191 y 213 with the 'class' rewind

etc. etc.
Sorry if that's not what you meant

In fact you opened my eyes on the fact that simply reading and displacing objects, re-open saved patches will be enough for 'guessing' everything ... I just though the complexity was bigger, but now I see better ! Thanks again Moog1

I've just come across a guide to the 'patch fileformat' after all..
It's in the help files for pd-extended 0.42.5:

Help->Manuals->Pd->Pd_File_format.html

Have fun

Exactly what I meant. Flawless. Thank you moog1 !
