#N canvas 248 104 751 339 12; #X obj 29 10 namecanvas; #X obj 29 98 namecanvas bonzo; #X text 521 311 updated for Pd version 0.44; #X text 121 10 - attach this canvas to a name; #X text 24 140 This is sometimes the only way to send a message to a canvas when making graph-on-parent abstractions \, but its use in making self-editing patches is dangerous since if you use it to edit the namecanvas itsef away you can cause Pd to crash. Instead \, you can just say:; #X msg 28 55 \; bonzo msg 280 50 hi there; #X msg 28 227 \; pd-namecanvas-help.pd msg 280 80 this is safer but only possible if you know the name of the canvas in advance.;
