Hello everyone,
I am having a hard time getting my text to appear from my XML file onto the screen; I have no idea where I went wrong, but I have tried nearly everything to fix this. Here is my code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XMLElement xml;//enables xml to be used.
//BrownBlock myBrownBlock;//object 1
//BrownBlock myBrownBlock2;//object 2
void setup() {//initial setup of sketch.
size(screen.width, screen.height);//actual size of the window at school is 1920 by 1200.
background(113, 105, 58);//color of background.
smooth();//antialiasing on.
noStroke();//no stroke will be given.
PFont font;//calling the font function and calling the font "font".
PImage img2;//calling second image.
PImage img;//calling the image function and calling it "img".
PImage img3;//calling third image.
PImage img4;//calling fourth image.
PImage img5;//calling fifth image.
PImage img6;//calling sixth image.
PImage img7;//calling seventh image.
PImage img8;//calling eighth image.
img = loadImage("mmnhLogo.png");//loading my image in.
image(img, 80, 70);//naming the image specifically with the variable name "img" and positioning it.
img2 = loadImage("wolf1.png");//loading image number 2 in.
img3 = loadImage("wolf2.png");//loading in image number 3.
img4 = loadImage("wolf3.png");//loading in image 4.
img5 = loadImage("caribou1.png");//loading in image 5.
img6 = loadImage("caribou2.png");//loading in sixth image.
img7 = loadImage("muskOx1.png");//loading in seventh image.
img8 = loadImage("muskOx2.png");//loading in eighth image.
font = loadFont("FelixTitlingMT-30.vlw");//loading in the font I desire.
textFont(font);//calling in the font I am actually going to be using; "font"
fill(245, 239, 215);//the fill of the text.
text("Midwest Museum of Natural History", 210, 125);//text and their coordinates.
font = loadFont("FelixTitlingMT-80.vlw");//loading a different font into the sketch.
textFont(font);//calling it "font".
text("Ice Age", 210, 240);//more text and coordinates.
image(img2,610,400);//coordinates of the second image.
image(img3,800,400);//coordinates of the third image.
image(img4,990,400);//coordinates of the fourth image.
image(img5,740,560);//coordinates for the fifth image.
image(img6, 890,560);//coordinates for the sixth image.
image(img7,740,200);//coordinates for the seventh image.
image(img8,890,200);//coordinates of the eighth image.
}
void draw() {
xml = new XMLElement (this, "museumHomeText.xml");//xml being called.
int numHomeText = xml.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i <numHomeText; i++){
XMLElement kid = xml.getChild(i);
int homeText = kid.getInt("homeText");
String datahomeText = kid.getString("homeText");
String mainhomeText = kid.getContent();
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The highlighted area is my problem spot in this situation; here is my XML I am loading from.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<museumText>
<data homeText= "During the last Ice Age, the Sycamore region lay at the edge of a mile thick sheet of ice.
Running along one blue ice ridge, across DeKalb County, thick-skinned and rough-haired Mastodons lumbered through the landscape.
The Ice Age display at the Midwest Museum of Natural History features a diorama depicting a portion of this scene designed to illustrate life and change in the Midwest region beginning 12,000 years ago." />
</museumText>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been following the XML example on the Processing website and trying to substitute my corresponding values in, but I get stuck when I get to the string part of the code because I don't know what to call my string. Any help would be wonderful thank you.
