Outputting multiple docs with PrintWriter
Mar 29th, 2009, 8:08pm  
I am working with a sketch derived from the super-rad kokkugia folks.
their sketch linked here > http://www.kokkugia.com/wiki/index.php5?title=KAgent_example_3d_export.

basically what they have done is implement the printWriter object to export the position of the vectors in 3D space to a txt. file that can then be imported to a 3D modeling environment (Rhino, in this case).

Ok this works well and good for capturing one frame of the action for export. I am interested in capturing multiple frames to show the development / movement of the vector.

I am familiar with the beginRecord function, but I cannot get it to work with the 3D vector sketch linked to above.

Anyone got any good ideas

right. sorry. If you want to run the sketch I linked to you will need this (kGeom library)>http://code.google.com/p/kgeom/downloads/list.

To clarify: I am not trying to reinvent the wheel. I am just wondering if there is a way to modify this sketch>http://www.kokkugia.com/wiki/index.php5?title=KAgent_example_3d_export

to export a series of txt files as opposed to writing over the same txt repeatedly with each mouse click.

Thanks again Processing Universe.

Quote:
void exportToTxt() {  
 output = createWriter("PointExport.txt");

becomes something like:
Code:
void exportToTxt() {  
  output = createWriter("PointExport-" + ++exportNb + ".txt");

with an int exportNb; declaration on top of the sketch.
You can add some padding initial zeroes to the number, too.
