How to keep sketches tidy

Hi,

I can use the extra tabs, and assume that these are part of the main code, and i just have to reference them to get them working, but how segregated can it be?

my main code at the moment is huge, and getting huger each day and tabbing off the code seems sensible.

(it also makes sense, as a wrote an entire seperate program and spent half an hour integrating, when really all i needed to do was reference it?(

main code;

void setup () {

stuff

}

void draw () {

box();

}

next tab

void box () {

rect(10,10,10,10);

}

OnScreen / Touchscreen Keyboard Solution

hi,

im looking for a solution for an onscreen keyboard, soley for entering email addresses. i have found the ofx keyboard, http://code.google.com/p/ofxkeyboard/

http://openprocessing.org/sketch/10188

which was based on processing originally, but doesn't seem to work anymore.

is the best solution to create a grid, map the keys individually and then assign to key inputs, or is there some already out there?

i fear my search terms may be less than of ninja standard as my google results are pretty grim!

thanks

Hi,

Im using the following code to get the last image in a directory, but i wish to get the last 9 images.

I have adapted this code for 9 images

this is just the part of the code i am having issues with currently.
1. import java.io.*;
4. FilenameFilter jpgFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
5. boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
6. return name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".jpg");
7. }
8. };
11. PImage img = null;
14. void setup() {
15. size(1200, 900);
16. }
19. void draw() {
20. if (img != null) {
21. image(img, 0, 0);
22. }
23. }
26. void folderSelected(File folder) {
27. if (folder == null) {
28. println("Window was closed or the user hit cancel.");
29. }
30. else {
31. File[] files = folder.listFiles(jpgFilter);
32. long timeTest = 0;
33. File lastImage = null;
36. for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
37. if (files[i].lastModified() > timeTest) {
38. timeTest = files[i].lastModified();
39. lastImage = files[i];
40. }
41. println(files[i] + " : " + files[i].lastModified());
42. }
43. println();
44. println(lastImage.getPath());
45. img = loadImage(lastImage.getPath());
46. }
47. }
50. void keyPressed() {
51. if (key == ' ') {
52. selectFolder("Select a folder to process:", "folderSelected");
53. }
54. }
and here is the adapted code;
1. import java.io.*;
3. FilenameFilter jpgFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
4. boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
5. return name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".jpg");
6. }
7. };
9. PImage img1 = null;
10. PImage img2 = null;
11. PImage img3 = null;
12. PImage img4 = null;
13. PImage img5 = null;
14. PImage img6 = null;
15. PImage img7 = null;
16. PImage img8 = null;
17. PImage img9 = null;
19. void setup() {
20. size(1200, 900);
21. }
23. void draw() {
24. if (img1 != null) {
25. image(img1, 0, 0);
26. }
28. if (img2 != null) {
29. image(img2, 0, 0);
30. }
31. if (img3 != null) {
32. image(img3, 0, 0);
33. }
34. if (img4 != null) {
35. image(img4, 0, 0);
36. }
37. if (img5 != null) {
38. image(img5, 0, 0);
39. }
40. if (img6 != null) {
41. image(img6, 0, 0);
42. }
43. if (img7 != null) {
44. image(img7, 0, 0);
45. }
46. if (img8 != null) {
47. image(img8, 0, 0);
48. }
49. if (img9 != null) {
50. image(img9, 0, 0);
51. }
56. }
58. void folderSelected(File folder) {
59. if (folder == null) {
60. println("Window was closed or the user hit cancel.");
61. }
62. else {
63. File[] files = folder.listFiles(jpgFilter);
64. long timeTest = 0;

75. for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
76. if (files[i].lastModified() > timeTest) {
77. timeTest = files[i].lastModified();
78. lastImage1 = files[i];
79. lastImage2 = files[i-1];
80. lastImage3 = files[i-2];
81. lastImage4 = files[i-3];
82. lastImage5 = files[i-4];
83. lastImage6 = files[i-5];
84. lastImage7 = files[i-6];
85. lastImage8 = files[i-7];
86. lastImage9 = files[i-8];
88. }
89. println(files[i] + " : " + files[i].lastModified());
90. }
91. println();
92. println(lastImage1.getPath());
93. img1 = loadImage(lastImage1.getPath());
94. img2 = loadImage(lastImage2.getPath());

99. img7 = loadImage(lastImage7.getPath());
100. img8 = loadImage(lastImage8.getPath());
101. img9 = loadImage(lastImage9.getPath());
103. }
104. }
106. void keyPressed() {
107. if (key == ' ') {
108. selectFolder("Select a folder to process:", "folderSelected");
109. }
110. }
and the errors...

now i think the issue is the for loop starting at 0, and trying to -1 from it, but i don't know how to get around it.

or if there is a plainer way?

thanks!

Photobooth Expansion

hi,

following my time with arduino, i have a project that i have decided that processing is probably a way i can get it done!

i use a mac, but the machine running this will be windows (xp). processing is cross platform, so i think ive got a good chance of it working :)

current situation;

i have a photobooth, you press a big button, the booth counts down, then takes a photo, and then at the end of the day i trawl through 1000 images, delete the rubbish ones and then upload the rest to facebook.

the unit is installed in the ceiling, is networked up, and the photos live in dropbox

i sync the photos and process them "remotely"

i would like to add to this by having a touchscreen computer next to the booth, with a carousel of the images recently taken and an input box. the user can touch the image they want, input their email address and hit send, and like magic, their photo appears in their inbox.

where am i up to;

i have downloaded processing, and have been googling like mad!

i have created a dynamic screen size, added some large text, and have imported the last photo taken (of the dropbox folder), and have this reasonably sized on the screen.

i have researched javamail, and have found the email processing blog ( http://shiffman.net/2007/11/13/e-mail-processing/) which looks useful

i have researched ofxkeyboard, http://code.google.com/p/ofxkeyboard/ http://openprocessing.org/sketch/10188 which looks amazing, and whilst the demo loads, the downloaded version does not compile correctly. this chap has now delved off into something called open frameworks, and trying to piece this together feels like im going about it the wrong way.

what i need to do;

when the photo is taken (image1), this is first in line, its nice and large

when photo2 is taken, photo1 moves from large position to next position,

i must make space for say 8 photos

when you touch the image you wish to email, the image should be brought in full scope, if you touch the keyboard the letters should be large and visual.

if you click off the image, it returns to its previous position.

if you click on the image and then take forever to type in your email address, following photos should not disrupt the sequence.

all email data entered is to be saved to csv, either one long file per day, or individually

where i am stuck;

the on screen keyboard. once i have this done, i can map the images around it.

can anyone see things that processing fundamentally cannot do, and should look for a different option, or just some project guidance :)

code can be supplied (albeit its not very interesting!)
