web-based data output?
« on: Mar 3rd, 2004, 4:41am »

I'm afraid this might be a taboo question, since P5 is great at helping us visualize data... But I want the raw data out of my sketch.
 
I have a sketch that I'm going to put online... it will be capable of creating thousands of datapoints (snapshots of where my simulation is at regular intervals of time).  I love looking at things as they progress, but I want to dump that data into a file or a web page so I can store it or slice it or dice it using a spreadsheet or something.
 
So anyway, I have seen some things to get data out of P5, but they seem to only work off-line.  Online the only think I can think of is to create a servlet that P5 can spit data at, and have the servlet cache the data in a database until I ask for it.
 
Is there a better way??

that sounds like roughly what you'd need to do. the bigger problem is that java applets aren't allowed to access files (unless "signed", as ed did with moovl), so you'd have to find something that you could stream your data to.
