Hi there,

I'm running through Daniel Shiffmans 'procedural painting' course at the moment... i took on the first task and built myself a website to upload sketches...

http://mattleaf.com

this might seem like a stupid question, maybe it has more to do with HTML than Processing.... but how do i get more than one sketch on one page, or more than one sketch inside one sketch (if you get what i mean)...

It's all good that processing exports the neccesary files to upload one sketch, but how do I put more than one sketch on one HTML page?

What if I want another sketch directly next to (say, tabbed to the right) of my first 'birth' sketch?

If this is more of a HTML prob and is too much to be asking here, if someone could direct me to a relevant site or tute that would be great.

Regards,

Matt

If you do File > Export, PDE will generate an applet directory in the sketch folder, with all the needed files.
If there are no name clashes (different files with same name), you can put the content of several applet directories in the same folder, except the index.html files.

For these, you need to open each one, copy the main part and paste it your Web page (which can have any look you want).
The relevant part to copy goes from <div id="content"> to the last </div>.
Note that strictly speaking, you can't have several divs with same id in the same page, just change id="content" to class="content" and it should do the job (or just remove the id, unless you want to style it). It won't break if you leave it as is, though.

I hope this helps.

The "Procedural Painting" class is the first class I taught with Processing back in 2004.  So some of the code might be out of date.  The link is here:

The 2005 version is here:

And now all of these tutorials are coming out in a book!

All the example code will be available at the above web site for free soon. ..
