I'm sorry but I'm completely new.

How do I display this as text in the app window?

I want the next line in the process to replace the one before it... with the Line taking up the entire screen... the font size adjusting to the amount of numbers..... until eventually the numbers fill the whole page at such a small font size that whoever watching would simply be overwhelmed.

Thanks tfguy44 for being so helpful.  

 when I try to use "result" It only displays 1.0 and then nothing else.

(140 instead of 70)
and you see that more text is being drawn to the right...

The first step to fix this problem is to redraw the background each frame.
See background().
So, that would be:

1. background(0);

Just one last question though, Is it possible to have the text to adjust automatically to the size of the box so that it always fits the numbers in????

Thanks!

If you find it too that would also be sweet. :) 

text(output,15,20);

is enough - thus the text is shown

but without a box.

I've tried textSize = (textSize/2); but it said it doesn't recognise text size

and also  float N = pow(1.5,output); but it said output is a float but I thought it was a string.. 

either of these should at least make the text each smaller, what am i doing wrong??

Thanks guys

The first problem that you're having has to do with the fact that you aren't properly using functions...

For example, it's

textSize(variables)

, not

textSize = variables

. For the second part, can you show us more of your code?

sorry its a bit messy

final float startNum = 1;

final float endNum = 2;

int lastTime;

float stepSize;

//Added the output String, which stores the ouput

String output = "";

//The font declaration

PFont font;

void setup() {

  //Increase the size of the frame

  size(1024, 720);

  lastTime = millis();

  stepSize = endNum - startNum;

  //Initialize the font

  font = loadFont("ACaslonPro-Regular-48.vlw");

  textFont(font);

  //Set the size to be 12

  textSize(12);

  

}

void draw() {

  //Redraw the background

  background(76);

 

  //Because we are redrawing the background, we also have to redraw the text every frame

  //Also, make the text box bigger

  text(output, 15, 20, width - 15, height - 20);

// 

 

  if (millis() - lastTime > 1000) {

    String result = "";

    for (float j = startNum; j <= endNum; j += stepSize) {

      result = result + j + "  ";

    }

   

 

    //Assign the output to be the result

    output = result;

    float C = textWidth(output);

  //  float N = pow(1.5,output);

  //textSize(300/N)

// textSize(textSize/2);

// float D = textAscent(output)+textDescent(output);

    lastTime = millis();

    stepSize /= 2;

   println( C );

  }

}

Even if the font size just gets smaller by half of the previous until it gets to like 0.5 font, the majority of the text would stay on the page.

Thanks for your help guys
