Why did you send me a PM with this question?

int currentYear;
int yearIncrease;
int endYear;
void setup(){
currentYear = 1960; //set current year to the starting year.
yearIncrease = 10; //how much current year will increase when the mouse is pressed
endYear = 2000; //the "until" year - in this case we exit the program when currentYear = endYear
}
void draw(){
//do nothing
}
//when the mouse is pressed
void mousePressed(){
currentYear += yearIncrease; //increase currentYear
println(currentYear); //print the current year
if(currentYear == endYear){ //check if the current year = end year
//if it does we exit
exit();
}
}

Ok thnx a lot but this shows the result in the comand line, i want this to show in the window that is opened and i changed the println to text and it shows it but the previos years stays and the next year shows in the top of it so it's not clear

add

background(255);

Above the line that shows the text on the screen

so in my example it would be:

void mousePressed(){
currentYear += yearIncrease;

background(255);
println(currentYear); //but your code that prints it in the window here

if(currentYear == endYear){
exit();
}
}

Well yes... as i said add background(255); to your code that shows the text.......

Why don't you just paste your code here? It would be easier to help then.

Here is my output now i want to be shown the year somewhere in this window and when i click the mouse to increase it and

to appear ellipses in this diagram for example:

in Albania in 1960 the life expectancy was 64,348, in macedonia 63 and when i click the mouse the year increase in 1970 so and the ellipses change their position in diagram because of the different life expectancy in that year

Perhaps something like that will allow you to continue on better bases:

PFont font;
int count;
int value;
int value1;
//String con;
int currentYear;
int yearIncrease;
int endYear;
void setup ()
{
size (700,700, P3D);
//background(0);
strokeWeight(3);
font=createFont("Verdana", 14); // Keep your load font, I just used a font I have
textFont(font);
currentYear = 1960; //set current year to the starting year.
yearIncrease = 10; //how much current year will increase when the mouse is pressed
endYear = 2000; //the "until" year - in this case we exit the program when currentYear = endYear
}
void draw()
{
}
void mousePressed(){
drawBackground();
currentYear += yearIncrease; //increase currentYear
text(currentYear, 200,300); //print the current year
if(currentYear == endYear){ //check if the current year = end year
//if it does we exit
//exit();
}
}
void drawBackground() {
background(125);
line(30,550,565, 550);
line(60,560,60,150);
textSize(30);
text("Life expentancy", 15, 130);
//60
line(50,460,70,460);
text("60", 25,470);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,460,565,460);
//65
text("65", 25, 380);
line(50, 370, 70,370);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,370,565,370);
//70
text("70", 25, 290);
strokeWeight(3);
line(50, 280,70,280);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,280,565,280);

ooooh, you didn't say anything about having more in the scene than just text ;)
Well what you need to do is to repaint the graph (or diagram or what ever you want to call it) before typing the year out on the screen so what i have done in your code is:
Move all the code that drew the graph into a function called drawGraph()
Replaced the old code in setup() with a function call to drawGraph()
Replaced the background(255) call in mousePressed with drawGraph() for they both do the same thing - clear the screen of the old text.

Be aware however that doing this might not be the best solution depending on what you want to add to the program in the future so you might have to change some things later, this is just how i would have done it...

PFont font;
int count;
int value;
int value1;
//String con;

int currentYear;
int yearIncrease;
int endYear;

void setup ()
{
size (700,700, P3D);
//background(0);

font=loadFont("BlueHighwayLinocut-30.vlw");
textFont(font);

currentYear = 1960; //set current year to the starting year.
yearIncrease = 10; //how much current year will increase when the mouse is pressed
endYear = 2000; //the "until" year - in this case we exit the program when currentYear = endYear

textSize(30);

drawGraph();
}

void draw()
{
}

void mousePressed(){
currentYear += yearIncrease; //increase currentYear
drawGraph(); //repaint the background
text(currentYear, 200,300); //print the current year
if(currentYear == endYear){ //check if the current year = end year
//if it does we exit
//exit();
}
}

void drawGraph(){
background(200);//clear the screen with mid-gray
text("Life expentacy", 15, 130);
stroke(0);
strokeWeight(3);
line(30,550,565, 550);
line(60,560,60,150);
//60
line(50,460,70,460);
text("60", 25,470);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,460,565,460);
//65
text("65", 25, 380);
line(50, 370, 70,370);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,370,565,370);
//70
text("70", 25, 290);
strokeWeight(3);
line(50, 280,70,280);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,280,565,280);
//75
text("75", 25, 200);
strokeWeight(3);
line(50, 190, 70, 190);
strokeWeight(1);
line(70,190,565,190);

//X Oska
strokeWeight(3);
line(150, 540, 150, 560);
text("Albania", 120,585);
strokeWeight(1);
stroke(255,10,0);
line(150,540,150,150);

//Macedonia
strokeWeight(3);
stroke(0);
line(270,540,270,560);
text("Macedonia", 240,585);
strokeWeight(1);
stroke(255,255,0);
line(270, 540,270,150);

//Kosovo
strokeWeight(3);
stroke(0);
line(390,540,390,560);
text("Kosova", 360,585);

Re: I want to make a simple counter in processing!

ok thnx a lot now i want to make circells which will change their position every time i click the mouse depends from life expentancy in each country so i add new void like this:

void drawEllipses()

{

fill(255,124,0);

ellipse(150, 430, 25, 25);

ellipse(270, 457, 25, 25);

ellipse(390, 295, 25, 25);

}

and i called it in setup but how to make the circells to change their position every time i click on mouse ??
