Create a table with fixed rows and variable column

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hello,

I need to create a table in processing, of fixed rows and variable column. The data is available in array objects. This table will open from a button click in a different window.

What is the best way of doing it? I was thinking of rendering rectangles for each row in alternating colors and then adding field value using coordinates for each cell. This certainly seems a lot of processing. Can anyone suggest an easier option?

Hoping to hear.

Cheers!

That's lot of Processing, because it has a lower level API, simple drawing primitives, so you need to draw each element by hand.
Perhaps using some classes judiciously can help, though. For example, one class for a cell with a value in it, etc.
