Operations in Pure-Data are objects. Objects are selected by typing there name in a box. This is a lot like calling a function or instanciating a class. Where Pure-Data differs is that you relate these operations by drawing connections between them. A Patch is a collection of connections and operations. Here is a really simple example:

GEM (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) adds graphics and video functions to Pure-Data.

I used Pure-Data to generate the Visualizations and the Sonification

The following patch converts the logfile created by python into a wav audio file:

This is the patch that was used to create the single-episode abstraction:

Patches can also be nested, so that an object can contain a patch. Here is main patch:

Where "episode-abstraction" contains the following patch:
