Beginners Questions
Aug 13th, 2009, 12:26am  
So I am new to Processing 1.0.
I have to mention I did not program before aswell.
But I am motivated and love to get to know this program better, because I really think it rocks.
So I am half way through the get started section.
I am trying to display a simple sphere from your tutorial and get this error message:

lights() is not available with this renderer.
translate(), or this particular variation of it, is not available with this renderer.
sphere() is not available with this renderer.

What renderer do I need?
Where can I get ALL renderer I need, so I dont see any error messages like that?
In some other error message I read OpenGL is a 3d renderer, I need.
Not sure what this renderer does with my graphic card.
I read the instructions a little bit and dont want to harm my graphic card, computer etc.

ahh and I work with a mac.

Ok, would be really really great if anybody could help me.

thx for your attention

lucky

You have to specify the renderer you use by adding it to the size command like size(300,300,OPENGL)  (dont forget to import the opengl library in case you use OPENGL)...

here is a list of renderes you can use.

if you still have some problems maybe post your code and we can tell where exactly the problem is.
