Text Area buffer size (Read 1817 times)
Text Area buffer size
Nov 7th, 2006, 7:17pm
 
Hello,

I make a lot of use of Text Area in Processing's window, to output debugging values all the time during run time.

But the "buffer" size is so limited so I cannot scroll up to look up at past data from "prinln()'s"

Is there any way to increase the size of this Text Area?

Thanks !

Not sure exactly what you mean.

I guess you can always drag the border between the code window and the output window to make it larger. Is this what you want?

If you're printing every frame, then things will scroll off mighty fast. I suggest implementing conditions under which a keypress will force a print.

Alternatively you can output to a text file for your perusal.
