#X text 4 164 The filledpolygon's arguments are interior color \, border
color \, border width \, and then the points of the polygon. Arguments
which are symbols ("q" and "z" in this case) mean to take the values
from the data structure. Other values are constant. The position of
the object is automatically controlled by fields named "x" and "y".

#X obj 60 21 struct template1 float x float y float z float q;
#X text 3 67 This subpatch acts as a template which describes the data
structure. The "struct" specifies four floating point values named
x \, y \, z \, and q. The "filledpolygon" is a drawing instruction.
Templates should have only one template object but may have any number
of drawing instructions.;

#X text 25 243 This subpatch sets up the "data" window with two objects.
How this works will get explained later.;

#X restore 59 397 pd stuff;
#X text 37 72 The positions \, border color \, and altitude of each
triangle are numeric values which can control \, or be controlled by
\, other elements of the patch.;
#X text 37 124 When the data window is locked (not in edit mode) you
can drag the apex of either triangle up or down to change the altitude
(you should see the cursor change with dragging is meaningful.) In
edit (unlocked) mode \, you can move teh entire triangles around \,
or cut \, copy \, and paste them.;
#X text 47 325 subpatches:;
#X text 37 281 Data is not persistent. If you save a Pd patch and reopen
it \, the "data" isn't preserved.;
#X text 37 5 This patch shows a simple data window with two objects
in it. The objects' data structures and appearances are defined by
the "template1" subpatch. This kind of object is called a "scalar."
;
#X text 37 207 Scalars are described by "templates" \, which are subwindows.
The subwindows are found by their name \, in this case "template1."
The template describes what form the data take and how it is shown.
It's possible to mix data of many different templates in the same collection.
