Class Synesthetiator

java.lang.Object
  synesketch.Synesthetiator

Direct Known Subclasses:

SynesthetiatorEmotion

public abstract class Synesthetiator
extends java.lang.Object

Defines common behavior for transfering textual information into visual output and notifying Processing applet (PApplet) about that new information.

For example, SynesthetiatorEmotion is a subclass of this class, where textual information refers to the new emotion recognised in text, which is to be transfered into visual patterns.

All subclasses of Synesthetiator should redefine the 'synesthetise' method and implement the synesthesia alghoritm, the concrete way text is interpreted and transfered into visual output.
