Exporting size
Jan 26th, 2010, 1:00pm  
Hi I am quite new to processing.

I am making a sketch in processing, something simple with random colours. But I am restricted by the size of my computer screen, I would eventually like to export it as a pdf that is A2 size.

Can anyone help me out please.

Thanks in advance

PDF export:

lots of example code for every occasion.

i think you can also have a screen bigger than your monitor, draw to it and saveFrame. you won't be able to see what you're doing and it means you can't really do any interaction but... (i've just tested this at 2000x2000 and it works)

Thanks for the help.  The problem is I'm using processing as a drawing tool and I need to draw in the whole window.

Is there not a way to export and multiply the size?

there is no need to make it larger when using pdf export. its vector based, you can always resize it.

i've got the same problem, i use processing to draw, but with a pixel jpg as source, the only thing i can do to have a beter résolution than my screen is using a projecteur and export in .tiff

void keyPressed() {


if(keyPressed) {
   if (key == 's' || key == 'S') {
     println("press");
     save("filName.tif");
   }
