Presenting on dual monitors? (Read 838 times)

Presenting on dual monitors?
Aug 24th, 2005, 5:08pm  
Actually it's projectors not monitors, but same same.
Point is I need to run a sketch on two projectors to make them cover a larger area. Trouble is, if I run the sketch in presentation mode, only the main monitor is used, while the secondary monitor is simply black.

The sketch is setup like so:

size(screen.width * 2 , screen.height);

...and the secondary monitor is set to be to the right of the main monitor.

Any ideas?

Edit:
Completely forgot this part:
Running Mac OS 10.4 and processing 91

you probably need to write some separate code to make this work. "present" mode is specific to a display device and can't span across monitors. you'd have to dig through the java display stuff to figure out how to get the dimensions of the whole screen and then open a window across them. unfortunately, on the mac it's a bit tricky to also get rid of the menu bar, so it may be a little bit difficult, depending on your level of java experience.

I was afraid of that... While I do have some Java experience, one of the things I never understood very well was implementing GUI stuff.
Oh, well. I'll try to find something else (different projector placement or a different projector altogether), but I'll look into a coded solution as well.
