new functionality will be added directly to the core. Instead, <strong>Processing</strong>’s growth will happen<br />

externally, through user-contributed libraries. The most up-to-date information about<br />

<strong>Processing</strong>’s libraries, including their respective APIs, can be found at http://processing.<br />

org/reference/libraries/index.html. Information on how to go about creating a library<br />

(which requires a working knowledge of Java) can be found in the howto.txt document<br />

located in the libraries subdirectory within your <strong>Processing</strong> application directory. Please<br />

note that libraries cannot be created from within <strong>Processing</strong> itself.<br />

Finally, as you progress in coding, there are times you’ll want to refer to the Java API<br />

directly, or even take a look under the hood at <strong>Processing</strong>’s source code. The Java API<br />

(St<strong>and</strong>ard Edition, version 1.4.2) can be found at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/<br />

docs/api/. The <strong>Processing</strong> source code, as well as information relating to <strong>Processing</strong>’s<br />

overall development, is at http://dev.processing.org.
