GOP = Graph on Parent

I'm doing the move canvas along hack to have multiple screens, but unfortnately, when I switch position, the last graph on parent display comes through and thus there is horrible overlap. I'm thinking if i [t b b] a message to clear current canvas, and then reopen a canvas at new location, that might get rid of it.

i don't know what 'donecanvasdialog' is all about but it seems to refer to the canvas. setting every value to 0 doesn't work.

interesting, what it seems to be doing is burning the canvas graphics onto the parent patch (so if i move the subpatch around, the previous image has burnt through and the subpatch itself displays it nicely.

have a play yourself

ADPD-808.pd has the business.

You should put a simple white canvas in the background of all your instruments.

that did it. hoorah!

hay arif,

about donecanvasdialog, this is how it works (got the answer from maelstorm on another thread): you put your graph in a subpatch to which you adress the message. the arguments follow what you get when you right-click properties anywhere on a patch:
arg 1 : xunit per pixels
arg 2 : y units per pixels
arg 3 : gop on/off
arg 4 : x range from
arg 5 : y range from
arg 6 : x range to
arg 7 : y range to
arg 8 : x size
arg 9 : y size
arg 10 : x margin
arg 11 : y margin
