where is the color object?
Dec 31st, 2007, 1:17am  
Hi. Since i'm programming in Eclipse IDE i'm curious where is the color object, so i could import it. none of the .jar files from Processing lib folder didn't work for me.

Example of an object i'm talking about:
http://processing.org/reference/PImage_get_.html

thanks in advance

P.S.: i know i once have found the config file for processing which also included the default import list, but i can't find it now. If anyone can help me with it's location, that would be a good start, since color object is included by default in processing IDE.

I'm not an expert on this topic, but in my integrations I use:
Code:

int col = pimg.get(x,y)


, because I believe that processing is just doing a hack where the color "object" becomes int's before becoming compiled *rollseyes*.

but I'm not too sure. but yea, above sample works for me. gl!

are you talking about java.awt.Color ?

indeed, as taifun said, colors in Processing are actually negative integers from -16 777 216 (black) to -1 (white).

Processing's color is just a synonym for int. It's not an object type at all.
So just use an int anywhere you'd use a color.
