Processing bug?

Calling the .color() method on a PGraphics object should be valid, because PGraphics defines all the drawing methods like .line() , .stroke() , .rect() , and also .color() .

I agree it’s a bit buggy that you can’t call functions that are defined by the API. But out of curiosity: why do you need to do this?

Defining methods called color() , line() , or any other Processing keyword inside your class does work. Defining a method called draw() inside a class is actually common practice (for particles, for instance), although it may confuse less experienced users by making them think they are somehow Processing related.

Names like line and stroke are not reserved keywords though. You can have a function named draw() because it’s not a keyword, just like you can have a function or variable named main in Java.
