Cytoscape is a cross-platform, open source application for visualization and analysis of networks. It is widely used in the field of Systems Biology to visualize different types of biological networks (like protein-protein interactions). It also has a plugin mechanism for extending its core functionality. Cytoscape is written in Java, so this open the possibility of using Processing to create Cytoscape plugins. I just put together a small template for creating Processing plugins for Cytoscape using Eclipse, keep reading for more details.

OPENGL2 renderer 15 comments
During most of last year I have been working on a 3D renderer for the Android port of Processing. This renderer, called A3D, is entirely based on OpenGL ES 1.1, and introduces some new features to the Processing API such as multi-texturing and 3D models. With A3D as the starting point, it was relatively straightforward to implement a new renderer for the PC/Mac version of Processing that would eventually replace the core OPENGL renderer.
GLGraphics 0.9.9.1 1 comment
Suggestions from users of the GLGraphics library led to this new release, 0.9.9.1, which incorporates several enhancements and refinements. Grab zip package from here, and take a look at the detailed release notes here.
New DMX library Leave a comment
Henri from Mots Cousus released a new library for handling DMX messages in Processing, dmxP512. It is partially based on the proDMX library I wrote a while ago, but supports more DMX hardware (enttec DMX USB PRO and lanbox LCE in its first release) and also adds things like buffering to prevent network/serial congestion. So basically dmxP512 replaces proDMX, which I don’t expect to develop any further.
