Help with tutorial

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, I'm just looking for a quick tutorial on how to get started with this.

I am completely new to processing and this area, but love what Toxiclibs
has done with visualizations.

thanks

There're no real tutorials available as such, but all packages come with quite 
a few
demos (some small, others bit more complex). I've also recently launched a blog 
at
http://toxiclibs.org and been posting a few code snippets there too (and will
continue to do so, as time allows).

Well I downloaded a package and tried to run a .pde file and it said "toxi" was
missing.  So even when I downloaded audioutils and tried to run examples I
immediately ran into issues.  I'm sure you are busy with more important things, 
but
it would be great to have something for beginners.

thanks

Okay, point taken. But in that case I'd also recommend to read the supplied 
README
file, which comes with each package. Toxiclibs is actually a collection of 
different
libraries and even though none of them have any *external* dependencies, all 
packages
rely on functionality provided by the toxiclibscore package, which you can also
download from the same list as audioutils et al.

I've made a note to give the architectural overview doc more priority, but hope 
this
helps for now...

All dig into that as well.  I think just showing a screencast from download to 
run
would be an easy thing for you to do in the mean time.

I'll keep at is.

thanks

I guess that was my point.  I did download the main tile "toxiclibs complete" 
and was 
still getting errors.

You need to make it MUCH more clear that the source from

hg clone http://hg.postspectacular.com/toxiclibs

does NOT contain the libraries. This should not be on the front page of the hg 
site. 
As a new user but experienced programmer, I was confused by the README.txt 
files statement

'first drop the entire "toxiclibscore" folder into the "libraries" folder'

when of course there is no "toxiclibscore" folder. I just spent 1/2 hour on 
this.

Hi rrmutt,

sorry that wasn't clear to you and I'll add a development tutorial to the wiki 
soon. The readme files you're referring to are bundled with the binary versions 
and not meant for working with the source version. In future, please also DON'T 
use this Google Code repo/issue tracker anymore, since over here is purely for 
archiving reasons. The new wiki & issue tracker are all over here:

http://hg.postspectacular.com/toxiclibs

(See note over here too: http://code.google.com/p/toxiclibs/ )
