Granted with function:    line(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2),

a "3D" triangle can be made by 3 calls to "line."  However, is there a way to just use the triangle

function to do it?

Hello,

I am trying to have the server make calculations based on the client's input.

How does the server read data from the client?  Note, that there is a function for the client to read data

from the server:   int dataIn = myClient.read();

client code:

import processing.net.*; 

Client myClient; 

int dataIn; 

void setup() { 

  size(200, 200); 

  myClient = new Client(this, "127.0.0.1", 504); 

  myClient.write("Hi there");

  println(myClient.ip());

} 

 

void draw() { 

  if (myClient.available() > 0) { 

    dataIn = myClient.read(); 

  } 

  println("calculation from server: " + dataIn);

  println("from client:  mouse x= " + mouseX + "  mouse y= " + mouseY);

  myClient.write(mouseX);

}

server code:

When I excute the code from http://processing.org/reference/texture_.html

I get these errors

size(100, 100, P3D);
noStroke();
PImage   a = loadImage("sunflower.jpg");
beginShape();
texture(a);
vertex(10, 20, 0, 0);
vertex(80, 5, 100, 0);
vertex(95, 90, 100, 100);:
vertex(40, 95, 0, 100);
endShape();

I get these errors:

processing.app.SketchException: It looks like you're mixing "active" and "static" modes.

What should I correct?

Given a 3D entity, how can it be "scanned" for its relevant points, and then graphed?

In other words, at different distances from the object more or less of it would be viewed.

 

 

1.  How do you "plot" data points that are generated instead of using the built in functions?

     For example, a 3-dimensional array stores the x, y, & z coordinates, which would be fed into a function that graphs  

     the points.

 

2.  If you generate points from an object, how can they be mapped to polygons, which would then be graphed?
