display the camera view in a particular area
« on: Feb 10th, 2004, 9:38pm »

hi, i need to display the camera view in a particular area in the canvas. i've just tried to do something with copy() function, but there must be a better way.

Barikan,
 
Add these lines right before you end your loop and you will get a white frame around your camera space.
 
Code:

noStroke();
fill(255);
rect(0,0,40,height);
rect(width -40,0,40,height);
rect(40,0,width-80,40);
rect(40,height-40,width-80,40);
stroke(0);
noFill();
rect(40,40,width-80,height-80);

 
 
This should work as long as you don't bring your shapes out in front of the rectangles.  If you want to have a control panel region on one edge of the screen, you can just do one rectangle.
 
It's not very elegant, but it works.  I have a couple apps where I do the same thing, and I keep all my controls in the box.
