Exporting SVG using 3.01 new feature

jcfried

I'm trying to use the new SVG export feature. This is the test

import processing.svg.*;

void setup() { size(400, 400); beginRecord(SVG, "everything.svg"); }

void draw() { ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 10, 10); }

void mousePressed() { endRecord(); exit(); }

It should produce a number of circles, but only produces a single circle. I've tried running it in PDF mode (changing SVG to PDF in the above) and it produces the correct result. If i change the draw() section to

ellipse(10,10,20,20); ellipse(20,20,20,20); ellipse(30,30,20,20);

it produces the three ellipses properly, so, the problem appears to occur in the handing of the mouseX/Y.

I'm a software developer new to Processing and looking for suggestions on how to debug this. Since i'm new to Processing, any help will be gratefully received.

Also, as a secondary issue, i would like to learn how to build/develop Processing so that i might contribute bug fixing. Any pointers to the process would be appreciated.

I've tried it once a long time ago in Processing 1.5.1.
I remember that I used beginRecord() inside draw().

Never seen it in setup() before. But it's exactly the example shown in the reference:
https://Processing.org/reference/beginRecord_.html

Perhaps you should take a look at some old forum threads about it:
