Hi,

I didn't find anything related to a "paint" method in the documentation, however if I create a function with that name it is called twice automatically by processing:

Code:

void paint()
{
  println("frame : " + frameCount);
}

output : 

frame : 1
frame : 2

 

Is this functionality documented? if so, can someone post the link?

Regards,
Joel

I don't think Cedric's link is relevant... (it is about the app, ie. the PDE itself).

But your sketch extends PApplet which defines paint() (protected) which is called to draw the screen surface. Defining such method might actually disturb the sketch...
The problem is that neither the compiler nor the PDE warn that a function definition overrides an existing one. We get a hint in Eclipse but even then we can miss it...
