Does anyone have an example for pattr code for externals with a more 

complex data set than a standard variable, like a struct?

I am looking to add pattr support to a breakpoint object like 

Function, and am not quite sure how to go about it and far as how to 

pass the data in the getvalueof function.

There don't seem to be really any examples of this in the pattr 

SDK...but I could very well just not be understanding something.

Well, now that you're on the dev list, I can answer your question. :)

You might think about implementing your object with attributes, and 

using an autopattr in @greedy 1 to suck up all of the attrs into 

multiple pattr datapoints - for instance:

Problem being, of course, that you're then limited to a finite number 

Otherwise, you could do something a la matrixctrl, where there's just 

a kind of badly designed "dump format" [x, y, state] repeated over 

and over again. Or just come up with your own crazy system. You have 

control over your get- and setvalueof methods, so they can format and 

interpret your object's "value" however you like. You're limited to 

something like 4092 different atoms in this value, though.

You might think about implementing your object with attributes, and  
using an autopattr in @greedy 1 to suck up all of the attrs into  
multiple pattr datapoints - for instance:

@a_level
@a_time
@d_level
@d_time
@s_level
@s_time
@r_level
@r_time

Problem being, of course, that you're then limited to a finite number  
of pre-determined attributes.

Otherwise, you could do something a la matrixctrl, where there's just  
a kind of badly designed "dump format" [x, y, state] repeated over  
and over again. Or just come up with your own crazy system. You have
