Yes!

You did not provide much context so sharing enough to get you started.

Some references:

- [Interactivity / Processing.org](https://processing.org/tutorials/interactivity)
- [frameRate() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/frameRate_.html)
- [noLoop() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/noLoop_.html)

Setting the _frameRate()_ may not always work depending on renderer and video card settings. That is another discussion.

Have fun!
