pop up window

robotman2412

hi! i am trying to make a compiler with processing. i had wanted to try a pop-up window but all i found on google was useless to me. do you know a SIMPLE way of making pop-up windows?

You're going to have to create a new class that extends PApplet and then call the runSketch() function to run it. Here's an example:

void settings() {
  size(200, 200);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20);
}

void mousePressed() {
  OtherSketch otherSketch = new OtherSketch();
  runSketch(new String[]{"OtherSketch"}, otherSketch);
}

class OtherSketch extends PApplet {

  public void settings() {
    size(200, 200);
  }

  public void draw() {
    background(255, 0, 0);
    ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20);
  }
}

But please note that this isn't exactly trivial, and can lead to a lot of confusing problems if you don't know what you're doing. You might be better off switching to using Java and calling Processing as a library, but again, that can be confusing if you don't know what you're doing.

i tried but i only got one window

update: oops, it added a tab when i click the mouse

robotman2412

and even more if i kept pressing!

KevinWorkman

What do you mean it added a tab?

Please note that my answer is an example that pops up a new sketch whenever you click. You're going to have to take it and change it to do what you want.

@kfrajer I'm pretty sure you just linked to a previous answer of mine, which is the same answer I posted above :p

robotman2412

so that is for pop-up, can you make another of the same sketch appear

robotman2412

something like:

void addSketch() {
  runSketch(new String[]{"ze sketch"}, this);
}

also, could i make it disappear and find out WICH of the sketched is closed? i tried exit(), but it didn't work

so... ceptionssss.pde

int col;//LOL RGB

void setup() {
  colorMode(HSB, 255, 255, 255);
  col = 0;
}

void draw() {
  background(col, 255, 255);//LOL RGB
  col ++;//LOL MORE RGB
  if (col > 255) col = 0;//LOL KEEP RGBING
}

void mousePressed() {
  runSketch(new String[]{"ceptionssss"}, new ceptionssss());//LOL INFINITE WINDOWS
}

yea, it works... you seen it now...

robotman2412

still gotta figure this exit and stuff out... also... this might be fun! https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/25779/everybody-post-novelty-stuffs-here#latest
