I have been reading the Learning Processing book, and I was impressed of how well it explains processing. I never thought I could ever make a drawing through programming, but thanks to this book I was able to create my first Zoog. I would like to share it with you guys, but I don't know how to upload it. Any suggestions?
I can think of two possibilities. If what you created is a static image you could simply take a screen-grab, make it into a .jpg and post it.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a Mac you can use the utility GRAB (in your utilities folder)using the select option so you only grab what you want and not the whole screen.
If on a PC then hit Shift/Prnt Scrn (above the function keys on the right)the problem here is that it will grab the entire screen. To see what you grabbed (on a PC) you need to open any graphics program (Photoshop if you have it, or GIMP if you already downloaded it) open a New file. It will be automatically set to the size of the image you just captured. You then simply paste it into that file by clicking Ctrl-V.
You now have a huge image with the entire screen. You need to use a "cropping" tool to cut just what you want, save it as a .jpg and upload it to the blog. Pheew! it sounds harder than what it really is.
One more thing, if you used a Mac, the grab utility creates a .tiff file. You cannot upload a .tiff to the blog, so you still need to open that file in your graphics program and save it back as .jpg
Now....if what you did is NOT an static image but an animation of some sort, then PROCESSING can export it as a JAVA applet. In this case you should upload your file to any server (e.g. your Plaza account at UF, remember every student has a web space at http://plaza.ufl.edu/yourusername) and then simply reference that URL in the ADD a GADGET section of your blog.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!:-)
