Hi,
I have my twitter sketch up and running, but was hoping to capture the same style/layout/design that Twitter uses. ie, I'd like to have the user image, same text, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions? Can I do this through the twitter4j library?

thanks,

returning value in a loop, function

[3 Replies]

Hi,
I have a hard time getting my head around functions and returning values ... and scope.

I am trying to return a value ("lyric"), inside a loop, using if statements.

For some reason I can only get the "lyric" String when it's inside the If statement,,, and thus can not return it at the end of the get_lyrics function...

When I try to call "lyric" outside the IF statement, it is Null....

Any help?

Here is the code I'm having problems with. Full code is at the bottom.

9. Comedy53 is a Image+Text generator that matches images from popular film to lyrics, in hopes to create
10. a humourous comic output.
12. Comedy53 scrapes images from http://film-grab.com/, and uses keywords from those images to search the online
13. lyric database http://www.lyricfind.com/services/lyrics-search/ to retrieve lyrics based on those keywords
14. Keywords from the Movie can also be used to complete search.
15. The images are then rearranged to match the stanza layout of the lyrics, to create a 3 frame comic.

I'm able to load and run sketches (without libraries) perfectly fine using the Wordpress plugin processing-js-easy, but I want to upload sketches that contain libraries. When I do, the sketches don't complete.

I'm relatively new to processing, so if you have any ideas, please speak to me like I'm a chair.

I've tried uploading the .jar file into the same directory as the .pde (ie wp-content-uploads), but that doesnt work... any other ideas???

Thanks

draw line that looks hand drawn (noise/roughness)

hi,
i'm wondering if there are ways to make line() appear non-perfect/linear. i'd like to use the line function (or any shape function for that matter) that appears as if the shape was drawn by hand ... giving a more rough appearance.

any thing like that exist?

thanks!

using proHTML scraping text

Hi,
I'm a new programmer, so please excuse my poor use of language.

I'm trying to scrape specific HTML text off an URL.

My strategy is (was) to use the proHTML library, from which I am able to create a 'List" of all the page elements and text (language?). I then want to convert that List into a String, so I can split the List and retrieve my specific text that I'm after (I'm assuming I need to convert List to String - I just don't know how to do this, or if there is another way around this).

Thanks for your help/suggestions.

Code:
1. import prohtml.*;
  
  HtmlList htmlList;

2D Array with Text / Strings

[3 Replies]

Hey dudes and dudettes,

I'm trying to make a 2D array with Strings. I'd like to select the 1 stanza at a time (of 3 sentences), then separate them into individual lines later. I have no problem creating a 1D array but when I try to make it into a 2D String array I'm a bit confused.

My code for a 2D array looks like this -- obviously i'm going something wrong...

Strings [][] JayZlyrics = {

{"Back when Police was Al'Qaeda to black men",

"While I was out there hustling sinning with no religion",

"He was off the wall killing for a living"};

{"Rap harder like I'm part of a cult"

"Like Cuban cigar maker 'cept I'm hard to smoke"

"And y'all choke motherfuckers"},

{"Friend or Foe, y'all all my muh' fuckers"

"If you haven't heard, I'm Michael Magic and Bird"

Sounds easy enough, I just forgot my brain.

Thanks for your help!

Searching and Retrieving text from the Web

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve text/sentences based on keyword searches, on the web.

Does any know if there are any libraries (like proHTML or Yahoo! search) that allow you to do this?

For instance, I'm trying to retrieve lyrics from http://www.lyricfind.com/services/lyrics-search/

and want to make a search in their database, and retrieve the first hit.

Example,

I'd like to search on lyricFind "Tomorrow" "Lies" "Peace", and the first hit I get is:

When all is you then all is good / I reach for tomorrow / While your secrets wander into lies / And all your grace is falling out of sight

Any ideas if there is a library for something like this???

Many thankyous in advance!

Using proHTML to scrape images from URL

Noob here,
I'm able to scrape images from a URL using proHTML, but I want the original size of the images, not the reduced thumbnail.

I realize that the images on the URL are thumbnails - but it would be great to get the original size. Is this possible? Easy?

My Code:

import prohtml.*;

HtmlImageFinder htmlImageFinder;

int rand15 = int(random(1,15));

int rand30 = int(random(15,30));

int rand45 = int(random(30,45));

//insert your url here

htmlImageFinder = new HtmlImageFinder("http://film-grab.com/2010/07/06/2001-a-space-odyssey/");

PImage[] images = new PImage[htmlImageFinder.getNumbOfImages()];

println(htmlImageFinder.getNumbOfImages());

size(512,238*3);

try{

for(int i = 0;i<50;i++){

images[i] = loadImage(htmlImageFinder.getImageLink(i));

//images[i].resize(300,160);

println(htmlImageFinder.getImageLink(i));

}

image(images[rand15],0,0);

image(images[rand30],0,238);

image(images[rand45],0,238*2);

// }

}

catch (NullPointerException e) {

}
