Save Frame to Server?
May 2nd, 2005, 3:22am  
I'm thinking about building a collaborative drawing application in processing, and I'm not sure on whether to get every pixel of the screen via pixels[], and then put that into a POST to PHP -> GD, etc, or whether there is a  simple way to do this in Java. Of course, I'd prefer Java just to reduce server load a bit, but if that isn't possible, does anyone have ideas as to the best way to send an image to a server via POST without killing it?

Thanks for your insights, etc.

If the drawing is all done by strokes, instead of pixels, you coudl jsut send the verticies of the strokes (and it's color/thickness/etc) to the server, instead of every pixel from the drawing.

Also you may want to put some thought into how often you need to send/recieve data from the server, too often, and the applet will be spending most of it's time hammering the server, instead of workign on drawing and the like.
