frameCount question
Aug 8th, 2005, 4:17am  
I am just starting to learn Java and Processing by going through the examples.

Looking at "Vertices 3D" I am able to easily stop and restart the program with

void keyPressed(){
noLoop();
}

void mousePressed(){
loop();
}

so now I would like the program to go to frameCount 1 (thus the first frame of void draw() )

this is where I need guidance please.

basically I just want the drawing to be erased and start over when the mousePressed() input command is called.

thank you

Perhaps you're not understanding processing's structure. You seem to be a flash programmer, referring to "going to a particular frame".

In processing, no frames are saved, unless you specifically ask it to. When you're drawing with processing, you're drawing to the pixel buffer called pixels[] which is a one dimensional  array containing your pixel data.

In such an environment, you can't really go back to a particular frame, unless you're re-drawing the entire state of the program.

To clear a screen is really easy, simply call background().
