Hi,

what methods are there to plot points in puredata (with or without GEM) by importing their coordinates (x,y) from a text file in txt or csv format?

In what form should the coordinates be written in the txt file?
Are there any examples?
[pd 0.54.0 on Linux]

Thank you,
a.

EDIT:
I realized now that it was probably better to write this post in "pixel#"... if you want you can move it...sorry.

@atux I would open up the help browser and start learning data structures, this is a perfect use for them an a good beginner project to learn with. The data structures section help patches have gotten to be good enough that there is no longer a reason to fear and avoid data structures.

Impressive examples for struct patches:

Here is a workshop on data structures from some years ago (things might have changed in the meantime, but I don't know). Unfortunately the workshop-patches are not online, but you might ask João in the Pd-mailinglist.

I am interested in how to pipe data from Pd to a fully equipped plotting-software?
