PApplet class in main tab Dec 15th, 2009, 10:17am   Hello, the following is from Chapter 14, page 18 of the Ira Greenberg book: "The PApplet class from the main sketch tab is very significant in Processing, as it's critically tied to Processing's graphic capabilities. Thus, when you work with external Java files, you need a reference to this special PApplet object to be able to call Processing's functions. You accomplish this by passing the keyword this as an argument from the main tab to any external classes that need to use Processing's graphic functions (really, PApplet methods). This is why I added a PApplet reference as the initial parameter to the two constructors in the Bird class." -Is there a difference between the PApplet class in the main tab and the PApplet class brought into a java class via import processing.core.PApplet?
