Print execution

Hello,

I'd like to make an app which can print every 2 minutes images captured from the webcam and then modified to have something like that : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/essaivisualisation5.jpg/

What you see on this image is the result of two minutes of moving in front of the webcam (the webcam track the red point and it makes move the image), and this is what I want to print.

Did I have to export the image as a PDF and then tell Processing to print it ?

I didn't find information about printing directly from Processing, have you got any information about that ?

Thanks You,

if you want to print content of processing window. you can do it with open method

With this method you open external program which is responsible for printing content from your processing window. however content must be saved to disk before. You can do it with Automator on osx. On windows you probably run some printing command line tool, or make bat file yourself.

If you do vector graphics, then PDF output makes sense, if you work with pixels, just use save

here's example code, how to use automator with processing:

void setup() {
size(200, 200);
}
void draw() {
// draw() must be present for mousePressed() to work
}
void mouseDragged()
{
ellipse(mouseX, mouseY,10,10);
}
void mouseReleased() {
save("file.jpg");
open("/Applications/auto.app");
background(50);
}

auto.app - this is workflow which is responsible for automatic printing of file.jpg - search Processing forum fot Automator + printing.
