Scriptographer.org - Point collecting

Hi,

I want to write a script that allows me to collect the points that the user has generated -- i.e. all points generated by onMouseDrag().

I'd like to send this (perhaps large) collection to another application. Ideally, I'd be able to save them up and write them to a text file. Unfortunately, I don't think scriptographer supports writing to a text file... Am I wrong?

If I am, is there a good way to go about this? I tried dumping the points to the console, hoping to grab them after they get printed, but the console only retains a relatively small collection of past print events, which renders it useless for this task.

Anyone have other creative ideas on how to accomplish this?

You can indeed save the points to a text file, you can just venture into the java side (Rhino) - will find some source code that could show this...

Try this:

var writer = new java.io.FileWriter(new java.io.File("text.txt"));
writer.write("Text");
writer.close();

Out of interest what application do you want to send the information to, there are options: OSC, Sockets etc...

Ah!

I hadn't realized the bindings were this tight. Excellent.

I'm just sending the points to a custom openGL application that I'm working on. Functionality; TBD.

I hadn't initially considered sending the data directly over a socket. Now the wheels are turning again.
