GridLayout in Multi sketches in one single window

in Contributed Library Questions • 1 year ago

I work with a library named giCentre Utilities

It allows to embed mulit sketches in one single window

But my Processing reports a mistake when I follow the example code in the URL http://www.gicentre.org/utils/multiWindow/

It stopped at line

setLayout( new GridLayout(0,2));

Processing says there is no class or type named "GridLayout"

I am not sure this class belongs to the giCentre library or it is a native in Processing.

I do know Java has similar classes but have no idea whether this gonna work in Processing.

So how can I fix this?

If I make this line as a comment, the program will run as well but the two sketches overlaps. So I think it is better to get this method work.

There was a time were more Java classes were imported by default, now it is more restricted, so you must supply the imports that were not needed at the time these examples were written.
Look at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/
There, you can find GridLayout.
As you can see there, you need to add to your sketch:
import java.awt.GridLayout;

It WORKS!

Thanks very much!

I just do not know the close relation ship between Java and Processing.

Why import a java library would be helpful?

Anyway, thanks very much again.

That's not really a Java "library", but just part of regular Java. GridLayout is a class used in this example, but the compiler needs to know where it comes from, so the import tells it so.
