" to redraw the screen at each instance of draw()"
That's exactly what it does currently! Except draw() has no instances, only calls...

I think the article in the I display images in sequence but I see only the last one. Why? page is relevant to your problem.

a while ago i tried to find a way to "manually" update the screen.
im not sure if the following code can help you, but maybe you can extract some lines, that are useful for you.



void setup(){
  size(400,400);
  background(255);
}

void draw(){
  background(255);
  fill(255,0,0);
  frameRateLastNanos = System.nanoTime();
  while(true){
    //background(255);
    handleFrameRate();
   
    //g.beginDraw();
    //if (recorder != null)  recorder.beginDraw();
    //preMethods.handle();
    ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 10, 10);
            //dmouseX = mouseX;
    //dmouseY = mouseY;
    //println(emouseX+", "+dmouseX +", "+pmouseX);

    dequeueMouseEvents();
    dequeueKeyEvents();
    //drawMethods.handle();


    //g.endDraw();
    //if (recorder != null)  recorder.endDraw();

    paint();
    //postMethods.handle();
    println(frameRate);
  }
 
}

void handleFrameRate(){
  long now = System.nanoTime();
  frameRate = (frameRate * 0.9f) + 1E08f / (System.nanoTime() - frameRateLastNanos);
  frameRateLastNanos = now;
  frameCount++;
}

void keyPressed(){
  println("void keyPressed()");
}

Hi,

I figured it out!  I was not terminating the draw loop properly, containing everything in a while loop -- so now I stop with noLoop instead.  Thanks for the answers!
