nodebox for visualization?

[Giles Bowkett]

Howdy Friamers - just curious if anyone's had good experiences using
Nodebox (and/or Processing) for visualizations and/or simulations.

(nodebox.net and processing.org)

I've really enjoyed using Processing.  The latest versions now allow  
multiple sketches open at once and have really made their IDE tool  
very fun to use.  I think it makes Java a lot more fun,  though it is  
trailing the Java curve,  I think it is up to Java 1.4 now..

I've not tried nodebox but it looks very interesting,  though less  
interactive.

I never managed to get very good at it, but I've seen awesome work
done in it. (Flight404 for example.)

They have a library giving you Apple's Core Image, which is pretty
fun. The site describes at as like having a Python interface to
Photoshop. It may partially replace Pshop for me, I'm on el cheapo
Photoshop Elements and Nodebox definitely beats that for many use
cases (although not line drawing).
