I need to create a graphical user interface (GUI) with processing to obtain real time data measurements obtained from arduino serial communication?

How can I do it on processing software??  
Any examples or tutorials??

BUT:  
GUI could mean that you NEED  
_( i hope you also WANT , not only NEED like in "ohhh homework again "… )_  
operate, and that would require that you additional also can

- send signals to the arduino  
to select different data collection options…

that might be a longer way.

Thank you for the suggestions.
