Hi, I'm having some issues with the text() function that I haven't had before. I'm creating a timeline of books read, and it relies upon a .tsv table (imported using Ben Fry's Table class code from his website). All of that's fine, and I haven't had trouble like this before, but when I go to create text for when the mouse hovers over one of the points on the timeline, it only shows text if it refers to a number (whether int or float), not a bunch of letters.

Below is my code (not including the Table code - that's available on Ben Fry's website):

Code:

//Books that changed my life
//by Meiko Georgouras

PFont headerFont;
PFont titleFont;
PFont bodyFont;
PShape bookShape;
Table bookList;
int rowCount;

void setup() {
  size(800, 500);
  headerFont = loadFont("1942report-22.vlw");
  titleFont = loadFont("BookmanOldStyle-BoldItalic-12.vlw");
  bodyFont = loadFont("BookmanOldStyle-12.vlw");
  bookList = new Table("booklist.tsv");
  bookShape = loadShape("book.svg");
  rowCount = bookList.getRowCount();
}

void draw() {
  background(200,210,214);
  smooth();
  shape(bookShape, 30, 30, 120, 96);
  fill(0);
  textFont(headerFont, 22);
  text("The Books that Shaped My Life", 200, 80);
  fill(173,201,203);
  noStroke();
  rect(0, 350, 800, 150);
  for (int row = 0; row < rowCount; row++) {
    String header = bookList.getRowName(row);
    float title = bookList.getFloat(row, 0);
    float author = bookList.getFloat(row, 1);    
    float name = bookList.getFloat(row,5);
    int read = bookList.getInt(row, 2);
    int birth = bookList.getInt(row, 3);
    int yr = bookList.getInt(row, 4);
    int l = (yr-birth)*10;
    fill(255, 30);
    textFont(bodyFont,12);
    noStroke();
    rect(30, 349, l, 2);
    stroke(255);
    line(30,349, 30, 359);
    text(birth, 15, 380);
    line(30+l, 349, 30+l, 359);
    text(yr, l+15, 380);
    int x = (read-birth)*10+30;
    fill(255);
    noStroke();
    ellipse(x,350,6,6);
    fill(0);
    if (mouseX<=x+6 && mouseY<=350+6 && mouseX>=x-6 && mouseY>=350-6) {
	  fill(0);
	  text(read,mouseX+5,mouseY);
	  fill(255,0,0);
	  text(author,mouseX+3, mouseY+10);
	} else {
	  fill(0);
	  text(" ",mouseX,mouseY);
	}

  }
} 

However, this other project I did has no problem working and happily shows both the area's name and the indicator:

Code:

PImage mapImage;
PFont font;
Table locationTable;
int rowCount;

void setup() {
  size(1126,732);
  font = loadFont("Calibri-12.vlw");
  textFont(font, 12);
  mapImage = loadImage("vic3.png");
  locationTable = new Table("vic_financialstress.tsv");
  rowCount = locationTable.getRowCount();
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  image(mapImage, 0, 0);
  smooth();
  noStroke();
  for (int row = 0; row < rowCount; row++) {
    String title = locationTable.getRowName(row);
    float name = locationTable.getFloat(row,0);
    float x = locationTable.getFloat(row, 1);
    float y = locationTable.getFloat(row, 2);
    float mapping = locationTable.getFloat(row, 3);
    int number = locationTable.getInt(row, 4);
    float colour = locationTable.getFloat(row, 5);
    fill(#b22222, number*3);
    ellipse(x, y, colour/6, colour/6);
    if (mouseX<=x+10 && mouseY<=y+10 && mouseX>=x-10 && mouseY>=y-10) {
	  fill(0);
	  text(title,mouseX+5,mouseY);
	  fill(255,0,0);
	  text(number,mouseX+3, mouseY+10);
	} else {
	  fill(0);
	  text(" ",mouseX,mouseY);
	}
  }
} 

Could you please help me with this?
