saveBytes - misleading filename
Oct 26th, 2005, 7:45pm  
Hello,

I just stumbled upon something I found very misleading: in the reference, the example for saveBytes() uses as filename  "numbers.txt", but the output is actually binary data (which makes sense in analogy with loadBytes()).

Could you please change the filename into something like "numbers.dat"?

An explanation that saveBytes writes binary data would help, too.

Best regards,
Fritz

By the way: processing is really great! Here at the art and design school in Lausanne (écal) we like it so much that we decided to teach it to all media & interaction design students. Smiley
