Twou windowed sketch with a tiny monitor screen.
Sep 1^st, 2009, 8:44pm

I'm making a two windowed app that opens a second window for a control pannel. This is done trhough ControlP5 Library ( http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/ ).

I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to make a duplicate of the sketch window and put it in the control panel but scaled down, like a tiny monitor of what's going on the big screens.

The aim of the app is making a live visuals environment that's why it has a secondary window with a control pannel.

Thanks in advance for any help

Source code is HUGE that's why I didn't put any of it in here Tongue

thanks!

Pretty much yes. But, through the night, I found another, more code economic than this, which I think you may finde hady:

After doing all drawings in the sketch as you usually do put this in the end of the draw() loop:

Quote:

  loadPixels();
  yourPGraphicsBuffer.beginDraw();
  for (int i = 0; i < this.pixels.length; i ++) {
    yourPGraphicsBuffer.pixels[i] = this.pixels[i];
  }
  yourPGraphicsBuffer.endDraw();
  updatePixels();

Then you use the image where you need it

(much easier to use when usin ControlP5 [at the sad expense of processor cycles Sad

])

You don't scale your image, and you don't need begin/endDraw before writing pixels[]. And the updatePixels() call is useless as you don't change this.pixels[] (which can be written just pixels[i]).
And you can just use copy(), actually... The latter might be slightly slower (I doubt you will find a real difference) but allows scaling.
