Re: PImage Reply #1 - Oct 26th, 2006, 1:39pm   You're defining two different PImages, both called cloud. One globally, one just inside setup. To show what's going on: Code: PImage Global_cloud; void setup() { PImage local_cloud= new PImage(400,300); } void draw() { println("cloud width = "+Global_cloud.width); // <---- error println("cloud height = "+Global_cloud.height); } So what you need to do is remove the "PImage" from before cloud within setup(), as then you're assigning to the global cloud, instead of defining a new one.
