When I first create an array and tabsend~ or tabwrite~ a signal into it, it is plotted with a bold line. If I close and re-open the patch, the line is now only one pixel wide. (XP and Win7, 42.5 and 43.4)

Is there some way to control the line width (or colour!) ? That would be very handy for distinguishing more than two signals (using points or polygons) and making plots easier to see at a distance.

That bold line, if I'm not mistaken, is a bug that's been around for a while and for some reason hasn't been fixed (likely not a high priority).

If you want different colors, you'll have to resort to using Pd's graphical data structures (look in the help browser). They're considerably more confusing than just using arrays, though.

Thanks, Maelstorm. I'm not mentally prepared to dive into data structures yet!

I guess one (if somewhat inelegant) solution to get a bold line back is to plot two copies of the signal with a small DC offset.

It would be terrific if line-width and color were eventually added as array properties.
