tk loader and API
Perhaps the best technique would be to create Tcl/Tk API for making Pd objects, then write a tcl loader. Then you could make regular, native style objects, but written all in Tcl. Combining the approach of CLR loader and [widget]? would be very handy.
propertiesfn:: properties panels should be pd patches (IOhannes?' patch) savefn:: should be handled by the API getrectfn:: should be handled by the API displacefn:: should be handled by the API selectfn:: should be handled by the API activatefn:: should be handled by the API deletefn:: should be handled by the API visfn:: should be handled by the API clickfn:: should be handled by the API
inlets and outlets need to be handled in the API
