Is there any way to suppress the automatic pop up of the graphic window at the program start and open it later by some command?

Following my plan a user should first do some choices by some input and then the graphics window should be opened and something should be done depending on the user input.

Thanks

I think its not possible.
The graphics window only pop up when the sketch is running. If its not running the window is not visible.
Just size(width, height, PDF, "filename.pdf"); suppresses the output window, but there is no way to show the graphics window at a specific point at your program.

Use a GUI! It will look better than a console UI.

boolean choicesMade = false;
void setup() {
}
void draw() {
if (!choicesMade) {
// show your GUI
}
else {
// draw your stuff
}
}
void yourGUIEvent() {
choicesMade = true;
}
