processing.core.PApplet parent?
Jul 9th, 2009, 6:07am  
hi, what does it means processing.core.PApplet parent? i want to create an object from glmodel class as a atribute of a another class made by me.  If i want to create an object from glmodel class i need to do something like this: modulo =  new GLModel(this, 4*numPoints, LINES, GLModel.DYNAMIC );

but when i try to create as an attribute of a new class, the "this" doesnt work  , it seems because this is a reserved word. Any idea ?

this is the constructor detail :
public GLModel(processing.core.PApplet parent,
              int numVert,
              int mode,
              int usage)


thanks

That's the this of the main class.
If you need to access it from a sub-class, you can:
- Pass it as parameter (eg. in the constructor);
- Get it as this.getClass().getEnclosingClass();
- Or just use: <sketch name>.this
