Hi,

Is there a way to resize and reposition a [text] window, like you would do using [relocate( with a normal pd window ?

Thanks

@allister It's a Tcl window that has been opened.......... you can see it has no address in the title bar.
The HCS library is available for 64-bit Pd on Deken so you can use [sys-gui] to send messages to the Tk/Tcl (Wish) procedures included with Pd.
If you can find the procedure that pops the window you might be able to add some code and then control some variables through [sys-gui] in your patch, or add a plugin to Pd that you can control the same way.

P.S....... ignore that.
It is popped in the Pd executable so not accessible.
You could grab the data from [text] and post it to a canvas, or create a tcl popup in a plugin and copy to that (popups are much prettier...... they have no title bar, automatic edge shading, and you can set their position on the screen independent of a Pd patch window.......... but that requires some Tk/Tcl coding).

Oh okay, thanks for the answer. That's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately I have very little coding knowledge, none in Tk/Tcl.

There was the [pop] external from iemlib, but it's not in the iemlib folder, I don't kow why, And it's no good for me anyway, because I use text also to edit parameters live, I use it as a sort of sequencer editor, so that the file where I save my multi-track sequence also becomes the gui.

you shoud check the rampcode project : it uses an external text editor that sends in realtime its contents to puredata via udp. But the communication isnot bidirectional

Thanks @jyg, it sounds cool, I'll check it out !
