create pictures for a website?
Nov 1st, 2007, 3:37pm  
hello

first i have no experience whit processing (but whit flash and Webdesign general)

i have this idea:
-processing is able to save pictures (jpg,gif)
-then make in processing a project for create random little grafics and save this pics
-now embed the processing-app hidden to a website
-on each website visit it should draw a random pic in processing, save it to the server (maybe whit PHP-MYSQL)
-add this pics whit normal HTML to the page!

GOAL:
so every user will see the pic where was created from the previous user before

is this possilbe to do whit processing?

thanks for your infos

Hey,

Interesting concept, I'm pretty sure you can do it.

You would need to create a sketch the size of 1x1 in order to "hide" it from the user (or maybe put it in a hidden layer... don't know if it would work) and when the page loads, the sketch does everything without the user knowing.

To save the graphic, you would probably need to create a PGraphic to draw inside it and keep it in the memory. When you're done, export it and save it to the server.

Here are some links to codes that saves directly on the server.
