Containers available in Processing 1.0
Nov 8th, 2005, 9:27am  
Hello,
A few questions
1. Does processing work on any container other tha PApplet?

I want to make a java application visualization program. In the application i want do divide the UI into parts. I was hope to use different containers (Canvas/panel etc) for each logically different part.

2.Does processing allow for applications to be built and not applets?

3. Does processing allow for containers in containers concept? E.g in Swing we can have a JPanel in JFrame..


regards
Sameer

to use it with swing, you should treat the PApplet object as one of the components in your layout (applet subclasses component after all) and add it to the rest of the canvas/panel/etc items.

also note functions like loop(), noLoop(), and redraw() which help in that sort of situation, so that the applet doesn't take over all the cpu resources from the other objects.
