Thanks! I’ve seen references to people having to modify/adapt imported code written in Java - which was confusing if it was just obviously of course going to work then what was the problem - but wasn’t sure what that was all about.

Also I’ve seen some warnings that it doesn’t actually work as well as you’d hope, for example:

> [@Why doesn’t Processing support LAB?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/why-doesn-t-processing-support-lab/4848/8):
>
> In that same vein, I’m surprised there’s no Processing library to add LAB support. From my experience with Processing, plugging in a chunk of Java code to add functionality is seldom straightforward, always a bloody pain to get to work in a sensible way, and if you’re not a Java programmer, then forget it.
