Does someone knows or working on a library to import kml files in processing?

It might be a very useful library.

I found this:

http://code.google.com/p/gekmllib/

It looks very preliminary with minimal documentation - but I'm sure it beats building a parser from scratch.

There's also

http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/03/introducing-libkml-library-for-reading.html

and that looks more official, with SWIG generated wrappers.

Tell me if you got it to work with your project.  Being able to use Sketchup output in Processing would be interesting!

Thanks, gekmllib seems to be a little bit outdated and has now upadate since last year. So I will give libkml a try, although its very nerdy with this SWIG stuff.

Yeah, not only is it nerdy, it's in C++. Sad

Mhmm I think its easier to parse the kml by myself, especially I only got ones with polylines. Maybe I can figure out how to install SWIG but at this time it was a 3 hour commandline session without  success.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I'll post if I have any more info, since I am very interested in using the Sketchup models generated by users.
