applet window resizing
Jul 18th, 2005, 1:15pm  
Hi,

I'm generating random pictures in an applet of size(600, 400), which fits neatly on the screen. Now I want to print some of these pictures and so need to render to a size(3000, 2000), pretty big, and bigger than my screen res. The problem is I want to see the pictures as they draw so I can choose whether I like them but I can only see a small proportion of the applet at this size. Is there a way to specify the applet window scaling i.e. size(3000, 2000, 20%) or something that would let me see a big area in a small space? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve

You could just throw in a simple key test that displays the image on the screen scaled.

the image() function will scale automatically if you specifiy

if (key == '1') {
image(source,0,0,source.width*0.20,source.height*0.20)
}

check the image syntax in the reference section.

A better key test would be a toggle function on the keyPressed() method.

where the 0.20 is the percentage you want to scale. you may have to cast them as (int), check the reference section.

That's a really good suggestion, thanks. My alternative was to run at preview size and then store all the randomly generated variables and load them back in at full res - not very elegant.

I'll give your idea a go. Cheers.
