+#X text 12 294 USING [SPIGOT] TO CREATE A GATE.;
+#X text 15 309 Unlike its closest cousin MAX \, PD does not have a
+native [gate] object. There are other PD libraries which include gates
+for both audio and numerical data \, but similar routines can be built
+in PD using [spigot]. The example below shows a two-way gate using
+two [spigots] and the [expr] object.;

+#X obj 96 439 loadbang;
+#X text 16 38 [spigot] passes messages from its left inlet to its outlet
+\, as long as a nonzero number is sent to its right inlet. When its
+right inlet gets zero \, incoming messages are "blocked" (i.e. ignored).
+;
+#X text 14 231 [spigot] works essentially like a doorway. When the
+door is open \, messages can pass through. When the door is closed
+\, messages are ignored. By default \, the door is always closed!;
+#X obj 31 505 spigot;
+#X text 13 547 In the example above \, the magic is created by the
+[expr] object which performs a simple calculation using the incoming
+number (1 or 0). Note that the figure "$f1" is a variable which assumes
+the value of the incoming number.;

+#X text 404 196 [SPIGOT] FOR AUDIO SIGNALS?;
+#X text 417 213 [spigot] does not work with audio signals. The data
+types which are accepted by this object are floats \, symbols \, lists
+\, bangs \, anythings and pointers. However \, audio signals require
+a completely different treatment.;

+the same effect can be created using the following structure:;

+argument is not needed and is rather useless.;
