We are using a code written in processing to do a randomized connected subgraph task and it is encountering a block when it reaches an articulation point (which is understandable). I did not write the code and we need to modify it to account for this issue.
Does anyone have any experience with Processing that might be able to lend some insight or a helping hand? I have the function written in Java that I need to perform the articulation point analysis, so I need to convert that into Processing and build other infrastructure around it to manage it.
Before we switched to Python, we used to use Processing in our intro CS course. The Processing we used was a layer built on top of Java to simplify programming: it let you write Java statements without creating a class or public static void main(string [] args) {}, let you open a drawing window without subclassing JFrame, let you perform graphics in the drawing window using a simple draw() function, and so on. Processing also provides a built-in IDE, so that you can run the Processing code without the usual compile+run cycle. I believe it was originally created by a computational artist to let a person streamline the creation of computational art.
I did not teach the course, but my understanding is that Processing code is actual Java, auto-wrapped by the IDE so as to simplify things as described above. You can use standard Java classes and methods, create new Java classes, etc., all within Processing. Assuming that's correct, you should be able to paste your Java function into the Processing IDE and invoke it.
I've heard there is a new version out that supports Python. I don't know anything about that, but presumably there is some way to tell it which language you are using.
There are tutorials, books, and examples on the Processing website: https://processing.org
Good luck!
You can also use Processing as library in a "normal" Java Project.
Processing.java is my template for NetBeans:
a Java Class which extends PApplet,
the two necessary methods setup and draw,
the main method to run the applet as application.
BeeDance.java and Camera.java are files from a project to evaluate the dance language of the honeybee and to show the indicated destination on an interactive map, where I apply the easy to use serial and video libraries of Processing.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Processing is a Java dialect initially meant to be used by programmer without a scientific curriculum. It provides many easy-to-use libraries for both video and audio. See processing.org for the details.
