The final aim is to take the numerical value and extrude the grid square into 3 dimensions with a height that is dependant on the number of black pixels found in the square.

From looking around the internet I'm guessing that 'blobscanner' is the library to use, however I'm not sure how to apply the pixel count to an array.

Any help would be so very appreciated. The code as it stands is as below....

2. import Blobscanner.*;
3. Tile [][] grid;
4. //number of rows and columns
5. int cols;
6. int rows;
7. PImage img;
8. 
   
9. 
   
10. 
    
11. void setup() {
12.   img = loadImage("scan - 067.png");
13.   size(600, 600);
14.   background(img);
15.   cols=width;
16.   rows=height;
17. 
    
18.   //the array dimensions are equal to n.of rows/columns
19.   grid = new Tile[cols][rows]; 
20. 
    
21.   //loop through cols and rows
22.   for (int i=0; i<cols; i++) {
23.     for (int j=0; j<rows; j++) {
24.       //initiate objects
25.       grid[i][j] = new Tile (i*15, j*15, 60, 200);
26.       
27.     }
28.   }
29. }
30. 
    
31. void draw() {
32.   noFill();
33.   for (int i=0; i<cols; i++) {
34.     for (int j=0; j<rows; j++) {
35.       //display the grid 
36.       grid[i][j].display();
37.     }
38.   }
39. }
40. 
    
41. void keyPressed(){
42.  if(key == 'g'){
43.   grid[4][4].black();
44.  } 
45. }

The tile class is as follows:

2. class Tile {
3.   float x, y;
4.   float side;
5.   int col;
6. 
   
7.   Tile (float tempX, float tempY, float tempSide, int tempCol) {
8.     x = tempX;
9.     y = tempY;
10.     side = tempSide;
11.     col = tempCol;
12.   }
13. 
    
14.  void display() {
15.     stroke(150,178,206);
16.     noFill();
17.     rect (x, y, side, side);
18.   }
19. 
    
20. 
    
21. void black() {
22.  col = color(0);
23.   }
24. }

Thanks for even reading this guys!

This is going to be the death of me. If anyone could help that'd be swell...FANX!

I thought about putting it onto the openprocessing website but it only accepts javascript and I've done it in Java. When trying to convert it, it just goes blank. I'm a complete n00b at this so any help would be much appreciated. I'll post my script below......THANKS!
