I've been fiddling with pd-msg, lately. I'm just wondering, is it possible to place an abstraction on a patch in the same way you'd put an object? I can't find what I'm looking for in the browser. Starting to think I might need to make a subpatch full of messages and a massive trigger to create a graph-on-display subpatch.

Pd-msg and abstractions.

yeah, abstractions will work just like objects in that regard.
ie, an object might be like this: obj 10 10 osc~
and an abstraction like this: obj 10 10 (abstraction name)
Just make sure you have the path to the abstraction in your pd preferences, or that the the abstraction is in the same folder as the mother patch (so, if you start from a new patch, then you will need to save at least once to give that new patch a path)

Ah, OK. I was putting in the abstraction name instead of OBJ, and a bunch of other things that also would not work. Thanks, Mod!
Now I have a new problem. When I call the abstraction, the $0 doesn't seem to work inside it.
