/** * Loading XML Data * by Daniel Shiffman. * * This example demonstrates how to use loadXML() * to retrieve data from an XML document and make * objects from that data * * Here is what the XML looks like: * * 40 */ // An array of Bubble objects Bubble[] bubbles; void setup() { size(640, 360); smooth(); // Load an XML document XML xml = loadXML("bubbles.xml"); // Get all the child elements XML[] children = xml.getChildren("bubble"); // Make an array of objects the same size bubbles = new Bubble[children.length]; for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i ++ ) { // The diameter is the content of the child named "Diamater" XML diameterElement = children[i].getChild("diameter"); int diameter = int(diameterElement.getContent()); // The color element has three attributes XML colorElement = children[i].getChild("color"); // An int for r g and b int r = colorElement.getInt("red"); int g = colorElement.getInt("green"); int b = colorElement.getInt("blue"); // Make a new Bubble object with values from XML document bubbles[i] = new Bubble(r, g, b, diameter); } } void draw() { background(255); // Display and move all bubbles for (int i = 0; i < bubbles.length; i++ ) { bubbles[i].display(); bubbles[i].drift(); } }
