Why this.getX() method is missing in Processing 3.1.1 ?

Zina3575

Is there an alternative to this method? this.getX()

It would be helpful if you tell what you want this method to do.

When you use this in a main program, outside of your own class, you refer to PApplet, which does not have such a method (what do you expect it to return?). If you're talking about some specific class, then, please, tell which one. If it is in your custom created class, you need to provide your own method.

This is not my class. this.getX() was in processing 2.

GoToLoop

Method getX() belongs to class Component:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#getX--

Given that in P3 the PApplet class stopped extending class Applet, all of those such members don't belong to the former anymore: [-X

What do I need to do to take advantage of this.getX?

void setup() {

static final javax.swing.JFrame getJFrame(final PSurface surf) {
  return
    (javax.swing.JFrame)
    ((processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas)

@gotoloop: thank you but

I receive

ClassCastException rcom.jogamp.newt.opengl.GLWindow cannot cast to processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas

for this part

(processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas)
    surf.getNative()

maybe because I am on P3D....?

Maybe this: https://forum.processing.org/two/search?Search=jogamp

Chrisir

yeah

com.jogamp.newt.opengl.GLWindow win = ((com.jogamp.newt.opengl.GLWindow) surf.getNative());

  return (javax.swing.JFrame)  win.getFrame();

I always get function getFrame doesn't exist

any ideas...?

Chrisir

@gotoloop could you help please?

I am on P3D and I always get function getFrame doesn't exist

thanks.....

@Chrisir, this thread is more than 1 year ago and it's about the "mysterious" getX(), which was available in older Processing versions; and got nothing to do w/ P3D or jogamp! :-@

@Chrisir

What are you trying to do? Do you want to set the position of your sketch window?

Chrisir

shall I open a new thread?

I came here with a suggestion of yours (and one of kfrajer) ;-)
