refreshing screen in the middle of a call
Jul 22nd, 2006, 12:24am  
hi,
I'm having trouble with things like the following:


void mousePressed() {
 text("warning: this might take a while",200,200);
 redraw();
 timeConsumingCalculations();
}


it seems like the screen doesn't get refreshed until after timeConsumingCalculations() is called, which defeats the purpose of putting a warning message on the screen. In general, is there a way to say "show the results of this graphics command right now before you execute another line"?

thanks!
