#X text 336 551 updated for Pd version 0.32.;
#X text 31 83 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., f
74;
#X text 31 161 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 the right outlet., f 74;
#X obj 87 346 print end;
#X text 31 451 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
right to left order., f 74;
#X text 31 502 The pointer sent from [pointer] to [get] is an elementary
Pd type on a level with "float" and "symbol"., f 74;

#X text 31 18 The simplest thing you can do with a collection of scalars
(a list) is to traverse it and retrieve its field values. This is done
using two objects \, [pointer] which does the traversal \, and [get]
which \, given a pointer to a scalar \, extracts field values from
it., f 74;
