Improving the 'title' of a second window in Python Mode

Thanks to GoToLoop and others who discussed it here and on the earlier forums, I know I can make a sketch with more than one window like this: def setup(): size(200, 300) second_window = OtherWindow() def draw(): background(0) ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 10, 10) class OtherWindow(PApplet): def __init__(self): switches = ('--sketch-path=' + sketchPath(), '') PApplet.runSketch(switches, self) def settings(self): self.size(…

I plan on then plotting ellipses or rectangles based on variables in an instance of DHTable.

If your class DHTable directly issues “drawing” commands such as ellipse(), fill(), etc., not only it has to know which PApplet’s canvas those commands will act upon, it’s gotta make sure they’re executed under the same Thread as that PApplet’s reference!
