gicentreUtils
A library by giCentre.org to assist creating data visualization
sketches with Processing.
Packages in the library include colour utilities, statistical graphics, morphing classes, spatial
utilities and map projections, text input/output classes and multi-sketch tools. All are fully
documented with example sketches to illustrate how to use them in your own Processing code.
