If current value is above currMaxVal, set currMaxVal to current value and set maxValPos to current index.

Reply #4 - Feb 3rd, 2010, 7:24am   wow , that is what i'm locking for works the way i want it Code: for(int i = 0; i < rowmax ; i++) { sgram2[i] = (int)Math.round(100*fft.getBand(i)); if ((int)Math.round(fft.getBand(i)) > (currMaxVal)){currMaxVal=((int)Math.round(fft.getBand(i))); maxValPos = i; } } noStroke(); colorMode(HSB, 140); color a = color(maxValPos, currMaxVal, currMaxVal); regards maik
