@micycle looks to be an excellent library.
As an exercise I managed to translate the contour map example to JRubyArt with the use of this VectorList shim:-
java_import 'java.util.ArrayList'
java_import 'processing.core.PVector'
class VectorList
attr_reader :array_list
def initialize
@array_list = ArrayList.new
end
def <<(val)
array_list.add(PVector.new(val.x, val.y, val.z))
end
end
Here’s the sketch in JRubyArt
require_relative './vector_list'
load_library :pgs
java_import 'micycle.pgs.PGS_Contour'
attr_reader :heights, :max, :min
MAX = -1
MIN = 9999
def setup
sketch_title 'Contour Map'
@max = MAX
@min = MIN
end
def draw
background(0, 0, 40)
populate_height_map
isolines = PGS_Contour.isolines(heights.array_list, 0.08, min, max)
isolines.to_hash.each do |isoline, value|
isoline.set_stroke(
color(
map1d(value, min..max, 50..255),
map1d(isoline.get_vertex(0).x, 0..width, 50..255),
map1d(isoline.get_vertex(0).y, 0..height, 50..255)
)
)
shape(isoline)
end
end
def populate_height_map
@heights = VectorList.new
res = 16
anim_speed = 0.005
grid(width + res, height + res, res, res) do |x, y|
z = norm(noise(x*0.01 + frame_count*anim_speed, y*0.01 + frame_count*anim_speed), -1.0, 1.0)
h = Vec3D.new(x, y, 0)
z += h.dist(Vec3D.new(mouse_x, mouse_y, 0))*0.005
h.z = z
heights << h
@max = [max, z].max
@min = [min, z].min
end
end
def settings
size(800, 800)
smooth
end
The norm is used because JRubyArt now uses OpenSimplex2 noise (values -1.0…1.0)
