CKNY

I have a 256 X 256 multislider (slider range min: 1, max: 256, number of sliders: 256), I must use "Thin line", not "point scroll" for the slider style. Now I want to simulate "hand draw" in multislider by sending numbers into the multislider. However, if I only send (x,y) positions with "pack 0 0", multislider will automatically change the number of sliders to 2. It is obviously very stupid to send 2 sets of "pack 0 0 0 0 0 0 ........ (255 zeros including x or y numbers)" to the multislider.

I spent whole night try to make a patch which can build a long list of 256 numbers but I failed. My idea is use uzi and zl to make bunch of zeros and use prepend and append to insert (x,y) into those zeros. I hope somebody can help me or tell me what is the best way to simulate hand draw in 256x256 multislider by sending numbers. Maybe there are some objects can do this?

dont send lists of 256 elements, because that's not very efficient. you're better off using set message.
