Abstract

A method for the adaptation of libraries done by users for the Processing graphics language, based on Java, to the graphics engine for the web processing.js, based on WebGL and JavaScript is presented.  Various methods to make adaptations to the web are reviewed. In  our  approach, we propose  to create a architecture that  is compiled  to  JavaScript, using  Google Web Toolkit technology, in order  to maintain the user library without modifications  and  making  the  adaptation in  a  single  trunk of development.  The  architecture has  three-tiers: the  user  library, a layer that  simulates  the Processing  behavior  and a layer to use the  user  library in  the  web.  It is presented two  prototypes of adapted libraries.
