I have a Processing sketch that takes used input and displays it.  My problem is that I need to clear the input at certain points on the screen.  Using background(255) in draw, clears the entire screen, however, I Only want to clear sections of the screen.  What is the normal way to approach this?

Thanks all,

I'm having a problem scaling Pgraphics on event.  For example, when you press the 'a' key I want the Pgraphic to zoom in; simple enough but I am unable to get the Pgraphic to scale.  I am using Matt Patey's example.  I think it might be how I order the image and Pgraphic.  

See below. 

Thanks for any help....

What is the best approach for two windows in one sketch.  Window one has pan and zoom while window two is a small version of window one, used primarily as "Where am I now" a map.  It is easy to draw and relate both  windows in a basic processing sketch, but I only want to pan and zoom on one of the windows and not the other.

Any recommendations?  

Thanks,

Just a quick question.

Have some some text placed with:

drawTitle() is called in draw however I want to update the text on a mouse event.  When I do this currently the text does not update but writes on top of the previous text.  Could you tell me please how to do this?

Thanks all,

I have a simple table of dates and counts.

I want to develop a time series graph but was hoping to use map().

Can someone point me in the right direction to do this?

It seems trivial with years etc, but I am not sure how to approach it with dates.

Rgds,

John
