resizing patch window
would there be a way to resize the patch window under Mac?
Sometimes my patches are bigger than the monitor and I would like a funtion like set window to monitor size or so. I suppose one can not do that?

Hi Hans,
Try with [screensize].
Example:
Bit of a difficult thing to do, you cant just scale the whole window and make things fit as each of the objects has there own size etc.
There is a few things that in combination may help:
Firstly You can use Max toolbox to make the gaps between things smaller using the X and Y commands.
You can use thispatcher and the window command to shrink the window to your chosen size using a message like 'window size 100 100 650 500, window exec'. Though you'll still have to scroll around within the window.
Hope this gives you some food for thought - there probably is a full solution possible using scripting- but its probably way more trouble that its worth.
The other option is simply to use more sub patchers, bpatchers and pcontrol to create a frontend which will be easily seen on any size monitor- hiding all the crazy big patches behind...
Good luck

actually, I wanted to fit an oversize patch to fit the sreensize. Kind of shrinking the patch to sreensize.
Click at the green (+) button at the top left of the window??
