Managing two windows in a single program
Mar 13th, 2008, 2:22pm  
Hi,

Is it possible to have two (or three) different windows managed by the same program? E.g. I want to have a palette of buttons which could be separated from the main sketch. If it's not possible to manage various windows in one program, I suppose I'd need several programs and have them communicating with OSC ; or is there another protocol to share information between the programs?

While I'm at it, is it possible to resize a sketch after it has been instantiated? (e.g. after the setup() function has been called).

Thanks,
Jean-Baptiste

perhaps http://www.mostpixelsever.com/ would help?

it's a framework to create a client-server solution to what you want, although you'd have to have 2 programs running, as it works by syncing them through a network (but presumably could be done locally too)

you can create 'normal' java application that holds several PApplets / several windows. You will have to leave the PDE editor for this. if you'll search the "integration" section of this forum you'll find an eclipse project i posted that does exactly that (2 windows with communication PApplets).
Same for the resize thing, just search the forum, it has been answered many times.

You might want to have a look at this that I've been making too;

it's really about reflective programming, but will open 2 processing windows, coded in the PDE.
