Hi,

Just a quick question –

I would like to import the `PerspectiveTransform` and `WarpPerspective` classes from `javax.media.jai` in Python mode.

Simply writing `from javax.media.jai import PerspectiveTransform, WarpPerspective` returns an error:

> ImportError: No module named media

What should I do to access / install / load this ‘media’ module in Python mode ?

For the moment I’m getting around this issue by first importing the [Keystone](http://keystonep5.sourceforge.net/) library but it would be nice if I could directly access this “media” module.

Hi @solub!

I have not tried on Java mode but maybe `javax.media.jai` could be missing from the Processing standard libraries, according to this:

I’m no expert on it (I hope someone can correct me if I’m wrong), but If you can find a `.jar` file of the library, you can add it to your sketchbook under `libraries/lib_name/library/lib_name.jar` and then use `add_library("lib_name")`on your sketch.
