How might one go about resizing an external in PD?

I've created an external with multiple inputs, and it's sized such that I can't tell where one input ends, and the other begins.

Max/MSP allows me to resize objects with the mouse. For the externals I'm creating (for PD) there isn't any "Properties" option. Is this something I need to program into my external myself?

Hi,

I'm new to PD (I'm porting over some Max/MSP externals), and am having a strange problem.

I've compiled my external to a dll on Windows XP.

I can open PD, create a new object representing my external, and use it without issue.

If I save this PD patch that uses my external, re-start PD, and open the patch, the external cannot be found, and the connections all become broken.

The only issue I've had that could be of any relevance is the following:

I've had trouble generating my (signal generating) external with the "~" extension. That is, even though it's a signal generating external, the dll I generate has the format X.dll, rather than X~.dll. The tilde seems to confuse the linking step...

Can anyone help me?
