Nov 10th, 2009, 8:30am  
hi all!
////////////////////////////////////////////in the main
Plotter myPlotter;

void setup()
{
 size(200, 200);
 myPlotter = new Plotter();
}

void draw() {
}

////////////////////////////////////////////in my class

import processing.serial.*;

class Plotter extends PApplet{

 Serial myPort;
 byte fin = 3;

 Plotter(){
   String portName = Serial.list()[0];
   println(portName);
   myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600);
   //myPort.write("SP1;EA10000,15000;OS;");
   //myPort.write("SP1;PU0,6000;");
   //myPort.write(fin);
 }

}

end it don't work, it is possible to integrate a library in class? Like this?

thank so munch at all!

Yes.
But I doubt you can have two PApplet objects.
Don't make Plotter to extend PApplet, pass the PApplet object (this in setup()) to Plotter's constructor and store it (or just use it there).

Code:
Plotter myPlotter;

void setup()
{
 size(200, 200);
 myPlotter = new Plotter(this);
}

void draw() {
}

////////////////////////////////////////////in my class

import processing.serial.*;

class Plotter {

 Serial myPort;
 byte fin = 3;

 Plotter(PApplet pa){
   String portName = Serial.list()[0];
   println(portName);
   myPort = new Serial(pa, portName, 9600);
   //myPort.write("SP1;EA10000,15000;OS;");
   //myPort.write("SP1;PU0,6000;");
   //myPort.write(fin);
 }

}
(untested...)
