in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hi,

I've got a problem.

Processing 2.08a and Java 7 (32 and 64 bit) running on a windows 7 64 bit pc:

when using size(displayWidth,displayHeight); nothing happens.

please help me!

Thanks

Works fine for me, with the exact same setup (although 64bit)... although it is difficult to duplicate your scenario. Likely, something else is causing the (crash?) (or maybe simply a freeze). What does the surrounding code look like (i.e. all of setup())?

Every sketch crashes with size(displayWidth,displayHeight); . :(

My screen resolution is 1920x1080, size(1920,1080); works fine.

Does the sketch crash (with an error message)? If so, what is it?
If not, then does it fail to start? Something else?

You say you get the error with 2.0a8... does this occur in 2.0a7? Or how about screenWidth and screenHeight in 2.0a5 or earlier?

I've tried it with 2.0a5 , 2.0a6, 2.0a7, 2.08.

screenWidth and screenHeight are like displayWidth and displayHeight:

They don't work.

I have the same problem when I run Processing 2.0x under mac.

Okay... forget about size() for now, can you print out what the values of these variables are? Like this:

println(displayWidth + ", " + displayHeight);

I know that they get initialized at the beginning of setup(), perhaps it doesn't happen until later... or they don't get initialized at all. For me, the variables were broken in 2.0a6 but work in 2.0a7 and up.

I deinstalled the old Java version 6 and reinstalled Java 7 (64 and 32 bit).

Now all sketches work!

Funny, it was a Java problem... perhaps the values that Processing uses to access the screen dimensions were corrupted in some way.
