Hello, I’ve been searching for an answer to this for a while now and have been unable to find any solutions that work for the most recent versions of processing. Does anyone know how you would get the X and Y coordinates of the processing sketch window relative to your computer screen. I am using t…

the P2D and P3D use OpenGL so we have GLWindow instead of JFrame. Run this sketch and when you click the mouse the window position is printed out. void setup() { size(300, 200, P3D); } void draw() { background(0); } void mouseClicked() { PVector p = getPosition(null); println(p); } // G…

I guess it really depends on your renderer. Usually you can access the underlaying canvas and window by using the surface variable. Using getNative(), it is possible to get the current implementation, which by default is PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas. If you would use FX2D renderer, this would be another…

sorry I probably should have been more specific in my original post. I am using the P3D renderer, which this code doesn’t seem to work on. Do you know any solutions that would work in P3D?

I am not at a computer atm. But I recommend you to just start with the getNative() method. Print the result out into the console and you‘ll get the actual type of it. Then look it up on google and check out it‘s properties and methods. And if one sounds promising, repeat the step. That‘s how I woul…

Just adding a note for people deciding on whether to go the getNative() route: not only is it a renderer specific Object – a whatever-the-renderer-gives-us – but it could be subject to change. This is whimsically expressed in the Processing API documentation… from PSurface.getNative : Get the nat…
