JTNGSE was a graphics editing program that was half GUI, half scripting. I originally wrote it for undergraduate friends in the UCLA design department because I was sad to hear that John Maeda's awesome Design by Numbers "did not save" or "did not support color." I also saw that Processing was wonderful, but also discouraging for my peers to learn (at that time, they considered it too complicated). Basically, everyone seems to need something that integrates in a very obvious way with their software packages. This lack of easy integration is what my friends claim is holding them back from beginning to learn this sort of process. JTNGSE was one attempt. Since that time, I have come to believe that the problem is a bit more complex.
Special Thanks to Debrah Isaac for using it in her senior project, Gabe Dunne for testing.
