Drawing an Arrow
I'd like to draw a line that shows up in Presentation Mode, ideally (but not required) with an arrow on the end that is pointing to something. Looks like the lcd object could work, but seems overkill. Is there a simple object that let's you place a line in a patcher? Something like a comment box but graphical?
No arrow, but panel gets sort of thin. I've used it as a line to divide sections of a patch.
live.line
Thank you!! live.line does it. Also live.arrows even better for my purpose right now.
patchcords within a bpatcher can be shown in presentation mode.
Might be useful sometimes (?)
I think the deal with presentation mode is that you also can't make new connections, or edit existing ones, so maybe having them show really isn't possible at all.
Same goes (maybe?) for not being able to add patchcords in patching mode, when you've hidden the cords. Sometimes I'd really like to hide them all and still be able to add more, so you'd see the new ones more cleanly.
With Max 5 you can make them transparent, which is helpful. I like Hide Foreground---Select All---change cord attributes as desired. Super-quick way to hide/show or change color, etc.
