Hi, I want to make a scroller in this app im working on but i dont want a scrolling bar, just to touch and drag like in most apps. How would I go about to do this ? pls help
Alternatively, how can I detect which direction and distance I’m doing with
void mouseDragged() {
}

You can use a ScrollView as shown here:

There is a recent post that might be able to do what you want except it might not be scrolling vertically by sideways. Not tested but it should work. [A carousel for graphs](https://discourse.processing.org/t/a-carousel-for-graphs/1087)

KF thankyou so much holy, the links you sent were super helpful :DDD
It ended up by working with just a simple adding variable like so
dist += -pmouseY + mouseY;
perfect :DD
