Give some examples (Unfolding 0.9.6 library for JavaFX)

Processing Libraries
1

Hello, i’m trying to use processing 4 because it’s needed for Unfolding 0.9.6 library for javafx. Can you provide me with simple example how to make working processing 4 with javafx? I’m doing an application and I cannot make it working with simple hello world. Please help me.

You must import the JavaFX library (only rendering supported) with Processing 4:

import processing.javafx.*;

void setup()
  {
  size(200, 200, FX2D);
  }
  
void draw()
  {  
  }

See related issues with JavaFX and Processing 4:

Some work arounds:

Are you referring to this? This is a fork and I do not use this version.

You must clearly communicate what library you are using and provide a link if unclear.
In this case the Unfolding FX fork above (10 years old) may not be supported.

I do not use the Unfolding FX fork and can’t comment on it or support it.

This is the current Unfolding library 0.9.6 listed in Processing 4 and it states not compatible:

The latest Unfolding 0.9.92 link is available here and I am using it with success in Processing 4.3:

If I try to use the FX2D renderer with the 0.9.92 version in Processing 4.3 IDE there are issues with scrolling with mouse wheel.
I was able to scroll with the numpad + and - keys. :)

Scrolling issue with FX2D that seems to have carried over to Processing 4:

Have fun with this!

The thing is I’m not using your sketchbook, but rather VS Code. I’m talking about this library: http://unfoldingmaps.org/. I’m importing all the libraries successfully but cannot make it work. I understand how to use setup() draw() and setting () but when it comes to start processing with PApplet i don’t know how to make display in a window with javafx or not. I saw that main method is inside the same file as sketch but i was trying with something like PApplet.main() to start this sketch.

String mainSketch = concat(new String { getSketchClassName() }, args);
PApplet.main(mainSketch);

I’m asking if you can provide simple java implementation of this library when used from main in different folder like:
src.my.package
┗ main
┗ Main.java
┗ visualizations.sketch
┗sketch.java
In Main.java I have my code and I reference object from Sketch.java. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Hello @Ciosiek ,

This example uses Processing 4.3 library and Unfolding 0.9.92 library and worked in Visual Studio Code 1.88.1:

import processing.core.*;

import java.util.List;

import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.UnfoldingMap;
import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.data.Feature;
//import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.geo.Location;
import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.marker.Marker;
import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.utils.MapUtils;
import de.fhpotsdam.unfolding.data.GPXReader; //GPX Reader

public class App extends PApplet {
    UnfoldingMap map;

    public void setup() {
        map = new UnfoldingMap(this, 0, 0, width, height);
        MapUtils.createDefaultEventDispatcher(this, map);

        // Load location
        String url1 = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gps-touring/sample-gpx/master/RoscoffCoastal/Trebeurden_Lannion_parcours13.2RE.gpx";

        List<Feature> features = GPXReader.loadData(this, url1);

        List<Marker> markers = MapUtils.createSimpleMarkers(features);
        map.addMarkers(markers);

        map.zoomAndPanToFitAllMarkers();
    }

    public void draw() {
        background(240);

        // Draw map tiles and country markers
        map.draw();
    }

    public void settings() {
        size(800, 600, P2D);
    }

    static public void main(String[] passedArgs) {
        String[] appletArgs = new String[] { "App" };
        if (passedArgs != null) {
            PApplet.main(concat(appletArgs, passedArgs));
        } else {
            PApplet.main(appletArgs);
        }
    }
}

This is a link to the Unfolding 0.9.92 library I used:

I did initially have this issue in Virtual Studio Code:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: D:\Users\GLV\Documents\VS Code\P4.3\test_java 1 0 0\Test\natives\windows-amd64\gluegen_rt.dll

Adding the line with vmArgs (for my system) to the launch.json resolved the issue:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "Current File",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "${file}"
        },
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "App",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "App",
            "projectName": "Test_8db5bd73",
            "vmArgs": "-Djava.library.path=D:\\Program_Portable\\processing-4.3\\core\\library\\windows-amd64"
        }
    ]
}

I did not use these in my exploration since I am working with the latest Unfolding 0.9.92 version:

This was my first effort using Visual Studio Code and was able to make this work with some effort. Some experience with Eclipse helped.

I may keep using Visual Code Studio!

Keep at it!

Integration of unfolding with JavaFX. A library to create interactive maps and geovisualizations in Processing and Java

The reference above to Tillnagel’s work is several years old and unless I missed it, there is no JavaFX code; the title “Unfolding 0.9.6 library for JavaFX” is a bit deceiving in my opinion.
