Processing Month, Day 27 - Mesh Basics
27 May 2011
Today we’ll take a look at how we can use the QUAD_STRIP and TRIANGLE_STRIP modes with beginShape() to draw a mesh to the screen. This will be useful when you want to get started with drawing 3D shapes with Processing.
Processing Month, Day 26 - Data Visualisation
26 May 2011
Today I’ll be mixing two sketches we did this month: the data visualisation sketch we did yesterday and the one about using PDF files for lasercutting. I’ll share the algorithm I used to create these beautiful tangible datasets.
Processing Month, Day 25 - Circular Bar Charts
25 May 2011
Today we’ll take a dive into data visualisation. We’re going to take look at how we can draw a circular bar chart. I’m not going to use a real data set for this example. An array of random numbers between 0 and 100 will do the trick for now, the focus is on drawing the chart to the screen.
Processing Month, Day 24 - Client/Server Part 2
24 May 2011
In part two of Client/Server programming with Processing, we’ll take a look at creating the client application. You need to create a new client object with the same port number as the server.
Processing Month, Day 23 - Client/Server Part 1
23 May 2011
Today and tomorrow, we’ll dive into the dark art of communication between computers. We’ll use the Network library that is included with Processing. The server application we’ll create today will send the mouse position to the client application we’ll create tomorrow.
Processing Month, Day 22 - Patterns
22 May 2011
Today we’ll take a look at drawing patterns. I’ll be using colorLib and the COLOURlovers API to color the artwork in an interesting way. You can download colorLib and install it in your libraries folder.
