Text on gui screen

fahadkalis

Hi, I am writing a program, to show some text on gui screen and also able to change it time to time according to my requirement. Can you please guide on how do I print text on GUI screen.

PImage img;

void setup() {
  size(448,299,P3D);
  }

void draw() {
  img=loadImage("imagei.jpg");
  background(img);
 }

Every time you call loadImage() in draw(), you cause the souls of a thousand dead programmers to scream out in agony.

1) Do your loadImage()ing ONCE, inside setup().

2) The function for doing text is text():

PImage img;
int count = 0;

void setup(){
  size(400,400);
  textAlign(CENTER,CENTER);
  fill(255);
  // img = loadImage(""); // Yes. Here. Yes.
}


void draw(){
  //img = loadImage(""); // NO! NOT HERE.
  // THIS IS VERY BAD.
  // THIS IS SO BAD THAT IF YOU DON'T FIX IT RIGHT AWAY I WILL RIP A PHONE BOOK IN HALF IN A FIT OF TOTAL RAGE.
  // I LITERALLY CANNOT EXPRESS HOW WRONG IT IS TO CALL IT HERE.
  background(0); // img);
  text("You have clicked " + count + " times.", width/2, height/2);
}

void mousePressed(){
  count++;
}

I don't know bold, maybe when you load a font that is bold?

I don't want to install font, becuase it is already very slow on laptop.
