Not sure I fully understood your goal, but some generic remarks, stuff we do in lot of new messages...
- Try and find a significant subject! It can be hard, but it can help those willing to help. Imagine if all messages looked like your in the list of messages...
- Don't use loadStrings() in draw(). This should be printed in big bold red letters in the reference page... You don't need to load a text file 60 times per second. See What are setup() and draw()? article if you are not sure how to do it.
- Perhaps hand-draw the result you want to do so we get a better idea of your goal. Unless somebody smarter than me figure out what you want to do.

Hi PhilHo,

Thanks for the response.  I'll try to be more specific with my subject lines and will also look into your link about setup and draw. In the meantime, here's a visual of what I'm trying to do. As you can see, a team is selected (LAA) and the player associated with LAA in each of the 5 columns is highlighted by coloring that player (and all the ones below him) in the column.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks  Kevin

You draw the texts by column, which is good.
You have to check the team, and to set the color differently when you find the one you search, keeping this color until reaching the end of the column. Reset the color at the start of each column.

Thanks PhiHo. I tried that but it doesn't seem to work. See code below. It ends up not showing any boxes at all. I put an If statement to set the box color dark if the third data element - name[2] - in each row = "BOS." Doesn't seem to work. Also, After I draw the box I overlay the text and change the color setting to white, so I'm also thinking this would be a problem too because it resets the color to white.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks  Kevin

Error: don't use == to compare strings!
And still don't load text in draw()...
And you need to apply the rect everytime, after you found the target, because you do another fill() for the text (alternatively, you could use pushStyle())..

Works Great - THANKS!  Really appreciate it.

One more thing: I've been hoping to allow the user to enter the team name (ie. type BOS).  So I'll create a variable called team and insert that into the code in lieu of "BOS."

I'm having a hard time figuring out where to insert the code that allows for the user to enter the team name and assign what's typed to this variable called team. I found some code in a tutorial about user input and modified it a bit.  Here's the code below: What I can't figure out is how to integrate it into my code: (a) if the code is right and (b) where to integrate it.  Many Thanks!  Kevin

// Variable to store text currently being typed
String typing = "";

// Variable to store saved text when return is hit
String team = "";

void setup() {      // I think I can avoid any of this setup stuff because I already have that in my code
  size(300,200);
  f = createFont("Arial",16,true);
}

void draw() {            //Again, I don't think I need the 4 lines below...
  background(255);
  int indent = 25;
  
  // Set the font and fill for text
  textFont(f);
  fill(0);
  
  // User Entry

 text("Enter team name. \nHit return to save what you typed. ", indent, 40);
  text(typing,indent,90);
  text(saved,indent,130);
}

void keyPressed() {
  // If the return key is pressed, save the String and clear it
  if (key == '\n' ) {
    team = typing;
    // A String can be cleared by setting it equal to ""
    typing = ""; 
  } else {
    // Otherwise, concatenate the String
    // Each character typed by the user is added to the end of the String variable.
    typing = typing + key; 
  }
}

Just keep the global variables and the keyPressed. And, well, perhaps the text() calls in draw() (eg. at the end) to give feedback to the user.

I'm still a little confused about the order of things.

I have a draw section that currently draws the visual I want.

The code I found that allows for data entry has 2 sections: a draw section (displaying what the user enters) and a keyprocessed section (interpreting what was entered).

It seems like the order of the program should be:

draw section for user entry
keyprocessed section to interpret entry and assign variable based on entered team name
draw section to draw the visual

But this requires me to have a draw section twice, which (when I tried) I got an error message. If I combine the user entry and drawing of the visual together in one draw section, I don't think the program flow works because the keyprocesses section needs to come after the draw section for user entry (I assume) So struggling with the order, and didn't really understand your response. thanks a lot.  kevin

PhiLho, here's my code. The only thing not working is it doesn't seem to assign the user entered team name as a variable to govern which gray boxes are highlighted. In past versions I hard coded a team like "BOS" into the code. Now that I have the user entry stuff in I want the entered data (a variable called "saved") to be used instead of hard coding a team in. But it's not working. Any thoughts?  kd

From a simple look, it seems OK. If you provide the text file, I might be able to test the code.

Also (less important) there's a weird square box that appears to the left of the text when I enter the team name on my keyboard. Is it some sort of a cursor?

OK, so I could test.
The "weird square box" is because you add coded keys as well, eg. the shift key. I changed the code to reject these, and to make letter to uppercase to simplify typing:

1. void keyPressed() {
2.   if (key == CODED) return; // Ignore coded keys
3.   // If the return key is pressed, save the String and clear it
4.   if (key == '\n' ) {
5.     saved = typing.toUpperCase();
6.     // A String can be cleared by setting it equal to ""
7.     typing = "";
8.   }
9.   else {
10.     // Otherwise, concatenate the String
11.     // Each character typed by the user is added to the end of the String variable.
12.     typing = typing + key;
13.   }
14. }

I also shifted down the display of saved: text(saved, indent, 120);
As you can see, it needed only a small change to make it work. Good job.

Thanks!!!  Exciting to see this work finally!

So I tried to upload the code onto a live website and it didn't work. I uploaded the index.html file and the .txt file and when I try to access the site nothing happens. I've tried to look for a tutorial about this but can't find one.  Any thoughts?  kevin

Where is the site/page?

it's baseballinfographics.com, hosted by StartLogic. I used their site and a tool they have called File Manager to upload the index.html file and the .txt file.

Looks like you forgot to upload the .jar files as well. They are the applet itself...

I've had a hard time figuring out where to place these files. And haven't had a lot of help from Start Logic helping me figure it out. Here's a screen shot of where the files are now. But the site doesn't work. Does this look right?  Thanks! kevin

I was just told by Start Logic that their service doesn't support java. I guess this means that if I have a site / program written in java, they can't support that. Does that make any sense to you? I thought java was a language supported everywhere. Any suggestion of what service I can use to host my website and support stuff I write in processing?  kd

You removed the index.html file. But I recall it pointed to another name for the jar file. Ah, I have it in my clipboard history: user_input.jar You uploaded a Rankometer7.jar file instead. You have to upload all the files generated in the export command, as they are.

I think you're looking at another thing I was working on called user input. For Rankometer7 I exported the applet and got the following files:

My Rankometer7 Sketch Folder includes:

- A folder called applet which includes:

index.html
loading.gif
rankometer7.jar
Raknometer7.java
Rankometer7.pde

- A folder called data which includes fonts and the .txt datsa file
- The sketch file Raknometer7.pde

So not sure which files (and where) to put. And also confused by Start Logic telling me they don't support java.

kevin

"I think you're looking at another thing I was working on called user input."
Well, that's the thing I found when I went to the site you pointed at, baseballinfographics.com
Now, indeed, it has the right HTML file. But there is no file at http://baseballinfographics.com/Rankometer7.jar so I don't know where you have put it.

If you create a folder in public_html, eg. rankometer, and put all the files there, it can be accessed with http://baseballinfographics.com/rankometer/ and it would allow you to host several sketches.

" Start Logic telling me they don't support java"
I think it means they don't support Java on the server side, ie. Java frameworks. But to make an applet to work, only the user needs to have Java installed.

So, just to confirm, you're suggesting I:

- create a folder inside the public_html folder called rankometer
- copy all my files into the rankometer folder

2 questions:

1. which files do I copy? obviously the index.html file, the .txt data file, and the .jar file. Anything else? There are other files in my sketch folder, such as the font files on the data folder, and the .pde file.

2. do I need to maintain the same structure that I have in my sketch folder - ie an applet folder and a data folder? Or ust put them all in the rankometer folder?

Thanks a lot!

Kevin

" - copy all my files into the rankometer folder" " which files do I copy?"
What do you not understand in the word all?
The files that Processing generates while exporting are not here for decoration, they are all significant. If you have a sub-folder generated, copy it too. You can omit the source file if you want to keep them private, but the general spirit in the Processing community is to share the code, so others can learn from it, and can even reuse it.

2. Well, looks I already answered... The structure also is significant, as the sketch expects to find some files at some places.
Note: unless it is a slow and tedious process to upload and manipulate files on the server, it is faster to do some experiments than to ask, in general... You are unlikely to break something.
Now, I don't mind questions, and well, this thread might be useful to somebody else. (Still the sharing spirit.)

Thanks for the advice. I actually ended up doing what you recommended: ie copying everything into the rankometer folder and just trying it out. Turns out it worked even without maintaining the sketch folder structure - I just placed all the files into the rankometer folder. It's live now:  http://www.baseballinfographics.com/rankometer. Exciting to see something up and working! Thanks again!

another small glitch I encountered.  I made a modification to the code to allow for a blinking cursor (I found some code someone posted and used it). It works fine when I run the sketch but when I copy all the files onto the server and onto my live site (baseballinfographics.com/rankometer), it doesn't allow for data entry (ie nothing happens).  Any thoughts?  Code below:

In general, one has to click on an applet (Java or Flash) to put focus there and to be able to type stuff.

not sure what you mean. I guess my question is: why does it work when I run my sketch but not when I put it live?

I go to your URL (I took the liberty to make the link active: it needs the http:// prefix for that). I start to type: nothing, as you describe. I do a single click on the applet area. I can then type. That's because the browser has the focus, which is somewhere in its GUI or on the HTML page itself. With a click, the focus is given to the applet. Focus is the place, in a window, where the stuff a user types go. In a form, it is the active text field (or component in general), and so on.

Hi there. I'm having some trouble again getting my code to go live.  I've made some changes to my code - most notably I'm using ControlP5's library for some pull-down menus. I've copied all the necessary files into the rankometer folder, including:

stuff in the applet folder that Processing creates when you export:

index.html
controlP5.jar
core.jar
loading.gif
Rankometer9.jar
Rankometer9.java
Rankometer9.pde

And also the data file: rankometerdata.txt that's in the data file that gets exported.

I have all of this in the public_html/rankometer folder but it still doesn't work.

Any thoughts? I'm thinking that since I added the controlP5 library it doesn't work now. But I seem to have all the necessary files uploaded. Puzzled as to why it isn't working and have tried all kinds of permutations to upload the files.

Many thanks!!

Kevin

One more thing. I confirmed that when I load the file in my brower (file:///Users/kdame/Documents/Processing/Rankometer9/applet/index.html) locally, it doesn't work as well. So the issue must be something about how the files are structured on my computer. But since Processing dictates the folder structure when you export the applet, so the only thing that I suspect it could be is the location of the ControlP5 library?  kevin

Usual answer: check the Java console for any message.
I rarely use controlP5, but from other threads I know it requires, at least in the browser, the functions it calls back to be declared as public.

Hi. When you say java console do you mean something that's located in the browser tools?  Kevin. 

No. Suggestion: type display java console in Google and read on...

alright. I figured out how to get the console working and you were right, I haven't properly made my code public. I looked around at some posts to try to figure out how to do this, made some changes but it doesn't seem to help. Can you take a quick look at my code and see where I'm not declaring something public?  thanks!  PS - I STILL can't seem to figure out how to insert code properly in these posts (sorry!)

Hello, im a begginer too.

I am writting a beat detection code, it shows the  image with the input sound.
I need to load the movie, but I cant because of this error:
I dont know what is wrong. Could it be the movie size? it is 1920 1080. I try with one smaller and it works. How can I load my movie?

GSVideo version: 1.0.0
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not load movie file pies
