@ingox thanks.

is there any way to do this?
i have looked at iemguts (using canvas position) hcs (windowname) to try to create some kind of abstraction like this

[is_top_window]
|
[X]

and when it is not

[is_top_window]
|
[0]

is there any way to detect which window is located on top?

@Jona @cuinjune hey thanks. i wonder if it might make sense at this point to keep everything in one place. (in terms of learning materials.)

was wondering if people would be willing to post resources links etc.

@cuinjune ok thanks.

i recently installed ofelia on a rpi.
i can destroy contents of the window using a message to [of.Window]
but the actual render space is still visible. how do i close that without quitting Pd.?

@otterly

if you right click or cntrl click on a toggle
and select Properties
you can click the button that says "No init" under Parameters
so it changes to Init
when you save the patch it should store its state. (*this also works for sliders radio buttons and the Number2 number atom Shift+Ctrl+N.)

you can also look in the Help Browser at 5.reference/savestate-help.pd

of course if you want to make sure it opens the same way every time regardless i would just use
[loadbang]

[1( or [0(

as far as more general state saving techniques there are many methods to do this.

@seb-harmonik.ar hey thanks so much for this.
that is what i was trying to do.

@seb-harmonik.ar

the patch I posted specifically?

yeah

had been trying to adapt it

so far i have resized the arrays
but still having trouble reading back the samples correctly to avoid clicks and getting the feedback section to work.

@kristofferlislegaard i would really try version 48 at least. you also can do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

@seb-harmonik.ar is there a way to do this using arrays?

probably makes no difference but does setting usb audio input as plugin and output as hardware do anything?

could be an issue with that version of pd
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=415164

i have the latest version working on the pi3. (although do sometimes get errors when creating objects while audio is running)

try downloading the latest stable version
Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 (ARM v7) (10 Megabytes) from:
http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.html

here are the install instructions i followed.
installing_pd_on_rpi3.txt

awesome. that works. thanks as always David.

is there a way to do this? view contents of a text object by sending a pd message? like what happens when you click on [text define]

st-rvb-rvs.meh.pd

might be another option.

don't know if this is what you're looking for (or what you already downloaded.)

TUIO_PureData-1.4.zip

https://sourceforge.net/projects/reactivision/files/TUIO 1.0/TUIO-Clients 1.4/

you should be able to build from source also using make.
