Example?

frameRate I thought is simply slowing down the draw() block to a specified amount. Thus the print functions are only going to get called when the computer sees them - as slow as it gets to them.

Which is what you want. I don't want the program scrying into the future for me and telling me stuff out of synch. Unless you can provide an example proving otherwise that is, which would sound like a bug.

Code: void setup() { frameRate(1); } void draw() { println(1); delay(5000); println(2); delay(5000); println(3); } The way it works doesn't seem 'illogic' to me , much less 'stupid'.

frameRate dtermines how often draw() is run. How often draw is run determins ho woften your functions get called. How often your functions get called defines how fast your print statements get called. Processing hs no idea that you want a function to be run even when draw isn't being run, how could it There's no way to say "magically know when this value has changed, then do this..."

You could do something like:

Code:

//in setup
frameRate(5*animationSpeed);

// draw
void draw()
{
  if(frameRate%5>0)
  {
    printOnly();
    return;
  }
  //only gets to here every 5th frame..
  drawStuff();
}

the irony is calling something "stupid" when haven't taken the time to figure it out.

please use better language next time and save the rudeness for other forums.

you've missed my point: we don't talk that way on this forum. try searching for "stupid" on the board and you're the first to use it in this context, and i'd like the board to remain more mature that way.
