As per another suggestion, I tried setting textMode(SCREEN); in setup() but this doesn't seem to help.

Thanks

I don't seem to be able to use P3D as the ControlP5 menus are unreadable. However, scaling everything that is drawn on screen from 0->10.0 works fine.

When I switch to P2D, I get an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 720" that occurs when I scale(5.7);

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this behaviour? Why would an array behave fine under P3D scaling but not under P2D scaling?

Thanks

Code example:

1. PGraphics gfxBuffer;
2. 
   
3. gfxBuffer = createGraphics(theWidth, theHeight);
4. drawSomething(); //offscreen, save to file
5. 
   
6. gfxBuffer = _______ ?
7. drawSomething(); //onscreen, current PApplet

I have a visualization program that seems to be quite CPU intensive, so I currently have it cycling between loop() when the mouse is pressed/dragged and noLoop() when the mouse is released so that it only gets redrawn when it needs to. This seems to work great at keeping the average CPU usage down.

However, I am attempting to add a ControlP5 gui 'control panel' in the same window and it is plagued by not properly registering mouse events when the program is in noLoop(). I almost have to click and slightly drag (a pixel or two) for it to register that I've pressed a button. Then sometimes it doesn't finish drawing the button as 'on' (with new color) even though the button is in the new state before noLoop() gets called when the mouse is released.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could tackle this issue? If there's a way to possibly listen for mouse events while the program is in a noLoop() state?

Thanks

Thanks!
