#X text 72 176 nonlocal shared value (named variable);
#X text 159 200 [value] is a container. It holds a global variable
numeric value and can be "polled" at any time with a "bang" message.
In other words \, [value] is a place where numbers can be stored and
then accessed by all active Pd windows.;
#X text 77 255 To assign a numeric value to that variable \, a number
box or message can be used \, as follows:;
#X obj 80 332 value my_variable;
#X msg 98 309 42;
#X floatatom 80 356 5 0 0 0 - - -, f 5;
#X floatatom 80 289 5 0 0 0 - - -, f 5;
#X obj 332 341 value my_variable;
#X floatatom 332 365 5 0 0 0 - - -, f 5;
#X obj 332 321 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 #fcfcfc #000000
#000000;
#X text 124 288 play with me;
#X text 123 308 or click me;
#X text 247 286 Notice that the number is not outputted to the outlet
\; it is merely stored. To retreive the number \, send a "bang" \,
like below:;
#X text 159 382 All [value] objects with the same name receive the
value (see subpatch below):;
#X connect 3 0 5 0;
#X connect 4 0 3 0;
#X connect 6 0 3 0;
#X connect 7 0 8 0;
#X connect 9 0 7 0;
