Hi, i want to add some text to explain some things of my sketches,  something like this http://luis.net/projects/processing/bubble/

where it says: Bubble Lens' demo effect

A picture is shown and it looks like soap bubbles...


But my sketches only say :

source code
built with processing

Example:http://www.tweakingknobs.com/bouncing_ball.html

thanx

I am not too sure, but you show the text which is below the sketch in a Web page, so I will suppose that's what you want to expand.

When you export to applet, you get an index.html file. It is, as the name implies, an HTML file: you can edit it and put as much text as you want. Beware: if you export again, you will loose your changes, save them before.

just add a multiline comment to the very beginning of your main tab (first tab). you can even add html there ...

Code:

/**
 *    hello.
 *    <p>test</p>
 */

i believe you mean the text at the bottom of your exported file after you run the index.html?

you could just load the final index.html into any html/text editor (such as vim or pspad for windows) and just change the text. (even add CSS and what not) Smiley
