Hey, I was wondering if there was some way to get a Candy SVG object to draw to a graphics other than the primary graphics. The constructor takes a PApplet as a parameter, but I'm not sure if that would let me hack it somehow to take a PGraphics instead. Any ideas?

i had a student run into this just this week.. i have it using a papplet (instead of pgraphics) because 1) the applet is needed for to load the file 2) when using begin/endRecord, the applet will need to be writing to multiple PGraphics, and that's handled by PApplet, and 3) we don't make people learn about 'g' or writing to their own graphics unless we really have to..

that said, it's obvious that i need re-work how the drawing happens so that other surfaces can be used.. gimme a release or two and i'll get it straightened out.

in the meantime, you can also use a fake PApplet, change its 'g' object, and pass that in to draw if you don't want to recompile the source. this was his hack for it:

Code:

/*
This is a terrible hack to make Candy draw on PGraphics objects.
*/

public class SVG2 extends SVG{
 
  public SVG2(PApplet parent, String filename) {
    super(parent, filename);
  }
 
  public void drawOn(PGraphics g){
    PApplet emptyP = new PApplet();
    emptyP.g = g;
    parent = emptyP;
  }
}
