GUI Objects

Here we list all the objects that are supported by the GUI module and how to use them inside your web patch.

Set Senders and Receivers for GUI Objects

Again, to use any GUI object (except for vu), you must configure senders and receivers. This ensures all objects function properly and saves you from spending excessive time debugging your patch.

pd4web just render GUI objects

pd4web don't render objects boxes, object connections, messages, or anything else.

For example, the show~ object by Ben Wes is implemented in pdlua. To use it with pd4web, download show~.pd_lua from the repository and copy it into the Libs/ folder inside your patch directory. You can download it here [show~](Here is a clearer and tighter version:
