Building GUIs with processing to talk to arduino...

Hi,
I have a project that uses an arduino, a python script and a graphing program. The python script creates a GUI (using tkinter) that has a number of text entry boxes for initially setting options and parameters for the arduino (this is sent to the arduino over rs232) the script then waits for data coming back from the arduino which monitors an analog voltage. The python script stores the data in a text file and then an separate graphing program reads from the text file and graphs the data in real time. This works fine.
However, it seems to me that this could be done much simpler by using processing to pass the required parameters and setup options to the arduino and then collect, graph and save the data to a text file but i would still like to retain the GUI to enter the relavant setup options etc - is this possible with processing, i couldn't find any examples that would create a GUI.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers.
