#X text 14 5 The simplest thing you can do with a collection of scalars
(a list) is to traverse it \, getting the numbers back out. This is
done using two objects \, "pointer" which does the traversal \, and
"get" which \, given a pointer to a scalar \, extracts numeric quantities
from it.;
#X text 14 85 You can send the "pointer" object a "traverse" message
to point it to the head of the list. The argument "pd-data2" indicates
the Pd window named "data2." The head of the list means \, not the
first scalar in the list \, but the position before the first scalar
\, which is a valid pointer in Pd but has no data or template.;
#X text 14 180 The "next" message tells the "pointer" object to go
to the next scalar in the list and output it. If there are no more
\, "pointer" outputs a bang at right.;
#X text 19 424 The "get" object takes a pointer \, checks that its
template agrees with what "get" is expecting \, i.e. \, "template2"
\, and if so outputs the values of x \, y \, z \, and q in the usual
reverse order.;
#X text 18 492 The pointer sent from "pointer" to "get" is an elementary
Pd type on a level with "float" and "symbol".;
