Is there an API for processing similiar to Java Docs? The website and books are fantastic and so useful. Was just wondering if there was an API to download and refer to  Smiley

it's also worth pointing out that the processing IDE has a link to a *local* copy of the reference *included* in the download - you can access it from the help menu and it'll open in your web browser. it's the same as the Reference link above.

(although i do wish this was an option - this and the examples adds 20-30M to the already large download (last time i looked))

(this is linux version btw, i guess the others are the same)

Actually I find the local help shortcut really useful:  On Windows highlight a keyword (i.e. pretty much anything the IDE colour-codes) and hit (Ctrl+Shift+F) and that will try and open the appropriate reference page (I'd assume there's non-Windows equivalents).  

Occasionally for some duplicated keywords it might not open the right page given the context (e.g. get() is used in several contexts in Processing); so that's the only thing to look out for...
