What is paint() ?
Feb 8th, 2009, 1:13pm  
can someone try to run this?

//------- 8< ----------
void setup(){}
void draw() {}

void paint(){
   println("Hi from the paint() function ?!?!");
}
//------- >8 ----------

when I run it, the paint() function is called and prints out the message.

how is paint() called ? Am i losing it?
Is paint() special? Did I miss that in the refeence?
Thanks!

It is an internal method of PApplet, which, I think, isn't designed to be overridden like you do (plus you inhibit some re-painting mechanism, since you don't call super).
