frame.setLocation not working... ?
Dec 24th, 2009, 5:10pm  
How come this doesn't work in the default mode?  It should set the sketch in the center of the screen, but doesn't.  Change it to P2D, P3D, or OpenGL and it works.  What gives.. is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

void setup(){
 size(650, 400);
 frame.setLocation(screen.width/2-325,screen.height/2-200);
}

Running a mac... note that once it's in the center (you test it with P2D or something) it will stay in the center until you close and reopen the sketch.

I collected a note in my list of Processing tricks:
"In OpenGL mode put in the setup(), in normal mode put in the draw()." (the setLocation() call, of course)

I wouldn't mind getting a peak at your list O P5 tricks. I'm sure it's quite long by now. haha
