I am using 4 instances of the same subpatch, I am opening them via pcontrol and I'd like them to be displayed (presentation mode) in 4 different screen positions (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).

I was thinking to use the "openrect" attribute to overwrite the default initial window location but the attribute seems to have no effect and the subpatches are displayed one on top of each other.

Hello,
I am using 4 instances of the same subpatch, I am opening them via pcontrol and I'd like them to be displayed (presentation mode) in 4 different screen positions (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).

Any suggestion?

You can use the "window size" sent to [thispatcher].

Use the [screensize] to get the screen's area and, knowing you patches dimensions, you can set them to open where you want.

thanks a lot, this is exactly was I was looking for!

if you do that with "no frame" style of windows, it can look like one big window. :)
