Introducing the Toxiclibs Gem
Toxiclibs for JRubyArt
Installing
gem install toxiclibs
NB: Use version 0.4 for ruby-processing
Here I have created create a gem to use Karsten Schmidts (aka toxi, @postspectacular) toxiclibs jars in JRubyArt. To compile the gem follow the instructions for JRubyArt. Most parts of toxiclibs API is exposed in the latest version, (but only a few examples are included) in principle it should be possible to make all available!!! For this demonstration I have used up to date source code for version 21, since toxis final release may never materialise (he’s probably got more interesting things to do). There are reported to be number of outstanding bugs with toxiclibs, if they affect you report it here (or better fix them yourself and submit a pull request). Version 1.0 features java code updated to use java lambda (jdk8) and was compiled against processing-3.3.4 core.jar. Added features are export Mesh to PShape and export Mesh to povray mesh2, ColorList can return a ruby string to_ruby_string of the form %w(#ffffff #ff0000) ie a web palette.
