Description
Stores, manages, and recalls pairs of numbers.
Examples
Arguments
filename [symbol]
The argument specifies the name of a file to be read into funbuff when the patch is loaded. Changes to the contents of one funbuff will not affect the contents of another funbuff object with the same name.
A file for funbuff can also be created using a text editor window, beginning the text with the word , followed by a list of space-separated numbers which specify alternating x and y values. A funbuff that has been saved as a file can be viewed and edited as text by choosing Open as Text... from the File menu. Numbers in the form of text can be pasted in from other sources such as the editing window of a capture object, or even from another program such as a word processor.
