zooto68 YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 37 England	Can you setSize without clearing the screen? Feb 2nd, 2009, 10:59pm   I want to use frame.setSize(x,y) to resize the screen size on the go (when the user clicks a button), but I don't want the screen to be cleared when I do it, which is what happens when you use frame.setSize(). I want the screen contents to be preserved no matter how I resize the screen. Is this possible?

The screen still gets cleared. I have done this :- Code: PImage sc; sc = get(); frame.setSize(650,250); image (sc, 0, 0); and yet the screen still gets cleared after the setSize command.

I need to put a size command after the setSize for it to work. Like this :- Code: PImage sc; sc = get(); frame.setSize(650,250); size (650, 250); image (sc, 0, 0); Thanks for your help.
