+# orx-processing
+
+orx-processing is a module designed to facilitate seamless type conversions
+between Processing's types and OPENRNDR's types. It provides utilities and
+methods that allow developers to integrate the two graphics frameworks
+effectively by bridging the gap between their respective data structures.
+
+For example, orx-processing enables you to:
+ - Convert Processing's PVector to OPENRNDR's Vector2 or Vector3.
+ - Transform OPENRNDR Shape and ShapeContour into their Processing equivalents.
+ 
+This module is particularly useful in projects that require the features or
+APIs of both Processing and OPENRNDR, simplifying interoperability and reducing boilerplate code for type translation.
