Unfortunately, being a newbie seems to have its cons as i'm unable to change the background color :(it's stays white no matter what color I input). I've tried the following: color backColor = #111111; tried to change background(backColor); to background(0); but same thing. What am I missing?

I am cleaning up a pretty cool dataset and I'd like to use your apps to visualize them. Feel free to drop me an email & let me know how its coming along. Nice.

I've been meaning to implement some kind of a caching system for a while now.<br /><br /><br />I think the most straightforward way of doing it would be to save out the individual JSON requests as you get them into a folder - then before each request you could see if the file exists before you do a new search.<br /><br /><br />If I get some time over the weekend I will try this out.<br /><br /><br />-Jer Definitely possible.

I think the most straightforward way of doing it would be to save out the individual JSON requests as you get them into a folder – then before each request you could see if the file exists before you do a new search.

If I get some time over the weekend I will try this out.

Is there a way to connect the NYTimes GraphMaker & NYTimes: 365/360 apps to a set of offline data like you did with your BC Budget Visualizations? i.e. Excel .csv? Thanks for these Jer!

Kind of a newbie question: I'm getting an error that the package "toxi" does not exist. I tried downloading toxi math and geom classes from google code and placing folders in my Processing > libraries folder -- doesn't seem to help. Do I have the wrong toxi libraries? Am I putting it in the wrong place? (I'm using Processing 1.0.9). This looks awesome!
