Hey guys,

Ok, I'm writing a program that will allow you upon starting the applet to enter the dimensions of the window (size(x,y)) in a text box.

I also have a slider in my program which I would quite like to have adjusting its position depending on the window size. However, my only problem is that the x and y values for size must be integers and so must the slider values. But i need to half the value of x to place my slider there, by doing that it no longer is an integer but becomes a float number, which my slider will not except.

Any suggestions (and I'm sure there is something very easy I need to do) would be very much welcome, and just for your entertainment here is a snippet from my code:


int xval;  //xval is x window dimensions
int yval;  //yval is y window dimensions
int xval2; //xval2 is slider center point
int xval3; //xval3 is slider length


void setup() {
 
 String xyinput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter x and y diameters for window, seperated by spaces..");
 String[] args = split(xyinput);
 xval = int (args[0]);
 yval = int (args[1]);
 
 size(xval,yval);
 frameRate(30);
 smooth();
 
xval2 = (0.5*xval);  //trying to set slider midpoint
xval3 = (0.75*xval); //trying to set slider length
 
 
 gui = new MyGUI(this);
 slider = new MyGUIPinSlider(this, xval2, 20, xval3, 15, 0, 90);
 gui.add(slider);
 sliderval = 1;
 slider.setValue(sliderval);

Many thanks
