toxiclibs

Building blocks for computational design (Java & Processing) This is a growing selection of useful classes created for mostly computational design projects, but which might be helpful for others too. After 3 years of ongoing development the collection consists of: * 130+ classes * 18 ... [More] packages bundled into 7 libraries * altogether >15k lines of code The libraries have been designed to have no further dependencies in order to maximize reuse and flexibility. [Less]

Fritzing

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are aiming to create a software in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, that allows the designer/artist/researcher/hobbyist to document their Arduino-based ... [More] prototype and create a PCB layout for manufacturing. The complimenting website helps to share and discuss drafts and experiences as well as to reduce manufacturing costs. Fritzing will essentially be an Electronic Design Automation software with a low entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. It will use the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it will be easy to transfer your hardware sketch to the software. From there it will be possible to export CAD files ready to be sent to a [Less]

processing-tutorial-opencv

There are plenty of examples that show how to use background subtraction and blob detection, but they are pretty terrible. This is a simple program that showcases background subtraction, blob detection, and face detection complete with code comments. This uses the Processing.org ... [More] (http://processing.org) and OpenCV compiled for Java (http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/) libraries. I've written this for the Eclipse environment but it could be easily changed for the Processing environment (just remove the class definition, the main function, and any 'public' tags). [Less]

Mechanic Ape robot platform

Theo's Mechanic Ape robot platform is a modular hardware and software platform to control autonomous robots.

controlP5

controlP5 is a controller library for processing that works in authoring, application, and applet mode. controllers can be added to a processing sketch itself, to separate control windows, and can be organized in tabs.

sojamo

sojamo libs are processing libraries for the programming environment processing. these libraries are created and maintained by andreas schlegel. libraries include implementations for networking, graphical unser interfaces, forms, and more.

processing-library-template

The processing-library-template project aims to support processing library developers with an eclipse project to build processing libraries. The provided template will compile the library, create a javadoc reference and generate a one page html document. When compiled, the library will ... [More] automatically be place into processing's libraries folder so it can be tested immediately from within processing. an updated zip file with all the required files and folders is located in the distribution folder of your processing-library-template project inside your eclipse workspace. A basic library website is created after each compile and can be found in the distribution/web folder inside your eclipse workspace. an example can be found here. make changes to the html and css templates to apply your design. To get started, please see the wiki posts "gettingStarted" and "Guidelines". The processing libraries development page is located at dev.processing.org/libraries. For further questions please contact us. Comments, suggestions, or bugs can be reported under issues. for more specific questions regarding libraries development, feel free to post in processing's discourse under "library, tool development" [Less]

simple-artoolkit-processing

The project based on the Java implementation jARToolKit of the ARToolKit and ports it in the Processing environment as a library.

processing-mother

From the colour organs of past centuries, to today’s VJing and new media art performances, artists and scientists have shown perpetual interest in the live performance of visual imagery. The limited aesthetic flexibility permitted by existing tools however has meant that artists striving to ... [More] differentiate their work have most often been the inventors and creators of the tools they use. To address this obstacle, we have developed a set of tools, that make use of and extend the popular Processing open-source multimedia programming environment. Together they will enable artists without the skills of computer programming to significantly influence the content of their visual performance, while also keeping the programming of new graphics algorithms accessible to those seeking greater creative freedom.

colorlib

ColorLib is a library for the Processing programming environment. It makes it easy to import color palettes from different sources like files (.act or .cs) or webservices (colr, kuler and colourLovers). It has some handy functions to create color harmonies and sorting colors.
