Hi,

I've got a sketch here wich is supposed to draw triangles like a 'hexagonal-concentric-snail'
http://studio.sketchpad.cc/sp/pad/view/4nB53waVBp/latest
(I give you the sketchpad version beacause the code don't run in Processing plus i need it in PJS)

You can see that all the colored triangle are placed manually, after the last position

1. int w = triangleWidth;
   int h = triangleHeight;
   
   
2. 
   
3. alTrianglesOffset.add({w, 0}); // goes right from the 1st position
4. alTrianglesOffset.add({0, h/2}); // goes down from the last position
5. alTrianglesOffset.add({0, h/2}); // goes down from the last position
6. alTrianglesOffset.add({-w, 0}); // goes left from the last position
7. alTrianglesOffset.add({0, -h/2}); // goes up from the last position

I'm trying to make this sketch build more dynamicaly, because it's supposed to be connected with external data, but i can't find a way to have something like

1. for (int i=0;i<TriangleNumber; i++)
2. {
3.       xPos = "magic maths goes here" *w;
4.       xPos = "magic maths goes here" *h/2;
5.       alTrianglesOffset.add({xPos, yPos});
6. }

Any idea are welcome, i'm completely lost :(
Thx

Hello.

Here's my problem in the code below.
I want to know how often a word appears in the file (mousquetaires.txt : the text of les 3 mousquetaires, by Alexandre Dumas) but i want to exclude the useless words by adding a stopList (stopList.txt : a list of french words like "et", "de", "il" ).

I tried an "if" (line 37) structure but i can't make Processing match the words in the stopList and in the HashMap that contains each word in the text (mousquetaires.txt).

Please help me, i cant figure out where i made a mistake.
Excuse my english, i'm french.

Thanks

1. HashMap words;  // HashMap object
2. String[] tokens;  // Array of all words from input file
3. int counter;
4. String[] stopList;
5. PFont f;
6. void setup() {
7.   size(640, 360);
8.   frame.setResizable(true);
9.   smooth();
10.   words = new HashMap();
11.   //Liste des mots a exclure
12.   stopList = loadStrings("stopList.txt");
13.   // Load file and chop it up
14.   String[] lines = loadStrings("mousquetaires.txt");
15.   String allText = join(lines, " ");
16.   tokens = splitTokens(allText, " ,.?!:;[]-'()");
17.   f = createFont("Georgia", 36, true);
18. }
19. void draw() {
20.   background(255);
21.   fill(0);
22.   // Look at words one at a time
23.   String s = tokens[counter];
24.   counter = (counter + 1) % tokens.length;
25.   // Is the word in the HashMap
26.   if (words.containsKey(s)) {
27.     // Get the word object and increase the count
28.     // We access objects from a HashMap via its key, the String
29.     Word w = (Word) words.get(s);
30.     w.count();
31.   }
32.   else {
33.     // Otherwise make a new word
34.     Word w = new Word(s);
35.     // the stopList will exclude the useless words.
36.     for (int j=0; j<stopList.length; j++) {     
37.       if (w.word != stopList[j]) {
38.         // And add to the HashMap
39.         // put() takes two arguments, "key" and "value"
40.         // The key for us is the String and the value is the Word object
41.         words.put(s, w);
42.       }
43.     }
44.   }
