2 windows even with Processing ??? (Read 532 times)

EricRG YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 31	2 windows even with Processing ??? Mar 3^rd, 2009, 12:33pm Ok, you can't open 2 windows with a Processing sketch but... is it possible for a sketch to start another one ? And, is it possible for two sketches to communicate ? ... you see what I mean... ?

Reply #1 - Mar 3^rd, 2009, 1:37pm I would risk a yes for the first question, although it would be simpler to run them separately. And a sure yes for the second question, a number of libraries address this need (network: Client & Server, UDP, RPC, etc.).

The following seems to work. Beware, I think that Swing and Processing mix can be explosive: I first tried without the noLoop() and it locked the sketch...

Code:

void setup()
{
  size(300, 300);
}

void draw()
{
  fill(random(0, 255));
  rect(random(10, 100), random(10, 100), 
	random(width - 100, width - 10), random(height - 100, height - 10));
}

void keyPressed()
{
  noLoop();
  javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, 
	"You are using Processing\nThanks for your attention", 
	"Informational message", 
	javax.swing.JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
  loop();
}

There are variants, like asking feedback to user (OK/Cancel, Yes/No/Perhaps), etc.

Code:


import javax.swing.*;
void setup()
{
    background(0);
    stroke(255);
}

void draw()
{
  line(random(width),random(height),random(width),random(height));
}

void keyPressed()
{
  JFrame tframe = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
  //tframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  
   // create my test-applet
  MApplet m = new MApplet();
  // add it
  tframe.getContentPane().add(m, BorderLayout.CENTER);
  // show it
  tframe.setVisible(true);
  // size it
  tframe.setSize(300,400);
  // init
  m.init();
}

public class MApplet extends PApplet{
  public void setup()
  {
    background(255);
    fill(0);
  }
  public void draw()
  {
    ellipse(random(width),random(height),random(20,50),random(20,50));
  }
}

here ya go

I'm bored, therefore I program

ok, when FrameDemo windows opens, I've got this error message : (the 2nd windows is empty) :

processing.core.PGraphicsJava2D needs to be updated for the current release of Processing

I tried with Processing 0157 beta, maybe it works with Processing 1.0 ? I'm going to try with the 1.0 on another computer tomorrow ! (it isn't working on my eeepc with xandros os)

(I'm very happy because it's going to work one way or another !

thanks for your help ! )
