processing + PGraphic + syphon

alexia

Hello all, I hope someone can help me i'm a bit of a newby and I'm really stuck.... I am creating graphics in Processing which I want to be able to layer up with other material using Resolume. I am using Syphon as a source server out of Processing and into Resolume but I can only do it by sending the SCREEN. This obviously includes a background even if I have a transparent one in Processing. I need to be able to pack classes and custom methods into PGraphics and send as Frames only..... agh I don't know what I'm doing... I've tried to follow advise from other posts but I haven't been able to apply them to my own code. PLEASE HELP!!!

float specHi = 0.20;   // 20%
