Re: How best can i simplify "Redraw"?

Could there somehow be a new standard in VST created to allow data exchange between VSTs exported with DSP robotics?
Not only midi, but also text, floats, bools and more.
I imagined a way i could strip midi cc values from 0.00000 to 1 and submit data from a VSt to another with this such as text... Like Morse bips. I could store like... 10 units of information from 0 to 9 in each time frame. But data beyond this would be so useful. Tho, i'm unsure how i would parse the data in and out, on a time line. Say that with 0s and 9s, i would tell a remote VST to create a curve of 10 seconds fading from 3% to 67% and at the same time, fade 2 other controllers from 100% to 0% in 2 seconds, or a quarter/t.
Or it could be a game experiment, with a simple robot on a grid, receiving instructions from a single knob to perform multiple operations like move, x squares, rotate, take object, select x item from storage, place object toward facing direction... With a single knob. I'm pretty sure it's more than doable... And a good experiment... But i'm just dreaming... And that's beyond topic lol...
Setting the grid color black on exported VSTS would pretty much do, if the software was updated in a way so the raw grid color could be set.
Tho, i'll have to learn a lot more about float arrays... I guess it would be awesome if Flowstone came with a multitude of context examples and more importantly, Exercises with instructions and smaller examples... To understand stuff like array management and pixel array, and stuff about ruby with exercises and lexicons. That'd be great. Tho, right now, i'll have to study float arrays. I'll look on youtube. Understanding that will most probably help me figure out how to achieve all i've mentioned pertaining to setting those knobs with the preset module unit and the "set" wireless transmitter.
I assume that float arrays probably puts a series of float values one next to another separated with commas?
Tho, if you look at the schematic called "prototype" in the files i uploaded pertaining to redraw topic, what would you best suggest to make the whole thing work and use the least components possible?
While i'll press "Submit", i'll head into understanding arrays better. I made some awesome stuff with BUS, automated BUS naming based on wireless String, but that's a whole other topic. Arrays are still abstract to me, but it won't be for long!

My guess is that the anti-aliasing tries to "feather" the edges of the Area rectangle when it's redrawn, leaving a slightly transparent strip of pixels at the edges (especially if it doesn't align exactly with pixel edges). There may be no choice than to draw a colour underneath the controls to prevent this, as it may be a "feature" of the Windows graphics engine that's beyond our control.
