Thanks Niels. I've actually used Processing quite a bit -- even taught a couple of courses with it -- and I've played a little with the Processing library via Clojure. I'll have to look into that again in this context. I recall some frustration with Clojure+Processing which I think stemmed from (1) feeling trapped in the applet context, (2) not knowing how to run programs that use the library on nodes without graphic displays (from which I would dump data to files -- I do lots of runs on cluster nodes to collect data), and (3) not knowing how to get Processing-based projects to take advantage of multiple cores. If you or anyone else has comments related to these issues then I would love to hear them. The toxiclibs library also looks quite interesting. Do you know of any examples that show this being invoked from Clojure? -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
