hi,

Im just trying out an example of Patterns from the processing sketchbook...

What I am after is to somehow hide the mouse cursor as it moves across on screen. Is this possible? As I am wanting to have project onto a wall and have an abstract way of controlling the mouse movement without actually seeing the mouse cursor.

I hope that makes sense?

The coding I have so far is:

/**
* Patterns.
*
* Move the cursor over the image to draw with a software tool
* which responds to the speed of the mouse.
*/

void setup()
{
 size(1280, 854);
 background(102);
 smooth();
}

void draw()
{
 // Call the variableEllipse() method and send it the
 // parameters for the current mouse position
 // and the previous mouse position
 variableRect(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);
}


// The simple method variableEllipse() was created specifically
// for this program. It calculates the speed of the mouse
// and draws a small ellipse if the mouse is moving slowly
// and draws a large ellipse if the mouse is moving quickly

void variableRect(int x, int y, int px, int py)
{
 float speed = abs(x-px) + abs(y-py);
 stroke(speed);
 rect(x, y, speed, speed);
}

Thanks in advance!

Thanks soooo much!
