pvar
Description
The pvar object lets you build user interfaces in one part of your patcher that are associated with the "process" part in another part of the patcher. Unlike the send and receive objects, pvar does not work globally; the pvar object and its associated object must be in the same patcher. To set an object's name, select the object, open the inspector, then enter a name under Name > Scripting Name. The name cannot be a number, although it can contain numbers.
Examples
pvar can be used to build a user interface without any messy patch cords
Arguments
object-name [symbol]
Optional
The first argument specifies the name of the object to which pvar will be associated with. If no name is supplied, the setname message can be used to connect later.
