having trouble with 2 differnet things:

 

first in my script i have twitter streaming longitude and latitude locations it then makes a dot on the screen at the same long and lat.

 

i made a "for loop" so that is saves each dot, but unfortunatly it keeps overlapping the txt that i am printing.

 

also this isnt realy a processing question more of a general ask it and hope for the best the quiry i am doing is producing results very slowly is it to do with my code or just the quiry i am doing.

 

any help or sugestions would be very welcome (i am very new to processing)

 

THE SCRIPT

}

  // bump our tweet count by one
  tweets += 1;
 
  println("number of tweets:" +tweetCount);
  tweetCount++;
