Hello,

I have a problem with this script.

I load forms via a csv file.

But my problem is that all forms are loaded in a row. So I have a long number of shapes

Now my question: how can I wrap the series after a certain length?

EDIT:

Here is the code,csv and Forms. ;)

Hey everybody,

i got  a problem with this code.

I try to arrange shapes in a gridsystem but the shapes are separeted to some music genres and every shape represents a song. (its like a rect for hip hop and so on)

Also the data wich music genre it is, comes from a csv-Data.

Now my problem is i can display only every second song because i count only every second row.  

I got createWriter(); and createReader();  in a .pde. the wirter works but it dont Reade the date from the txt.

What im doing wrong?

Here my code:

float distanz;
PrintWriter output;
BufferedReader reader;
String line;



void setup (){
  size(500,500);
  smooth();
  output = createWriter("positions.txt"); 
  reader = createReader("positions.txt");
 }

void draw (){ 
 
   if (mousePressed && (mouseButton == LEFT)) {
   ellipse(mouseX,mouseY,50,50);
   point(mouseX, mouseY);  
   output.print(mouseX + "  " + mouseY+"  ");
   output.flush();
   }  


try {
    String line;
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
    String[] pieces = split(line, TAB);
    int x = int(pieces[0]);
    int y = int(pieces[1]);
    ellipse(x, y, 50, 50);
    }
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(); 
}
}
