Size of canvas controlP5

Processing Libraries
1

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to change the size of the canvas in the controlP5 canvas example. The method addcanvas seems to have a setPositions() but not a setSize(). I wonder if anyone knows how to change the size?
I did look into putting the canvas in a group which seems to support setSize but I do not like the extendable and retractable nature of the group.

here is the code from controlP5 canvas example ( don’t mind the plot stuff in the update function):

/**
 * ControlP5 Canvas
 * The ControlWindowCanvas allow you to add custom graphics to 
 * the default controlP5 renderer or a controlWindow rednerer.
 *
 * find a list of public methods available for the Canvas Controller 
 * at the bottom of this sketch's source code

// MyCanvas, your Canvas render class
class MyCanvas extends Canvas {

  int y;
  int mx = 0;
  int my = 0;
  GPlot plot;
  public void setup(PGraphics pg) {
    y = 200;
  }  

  public void update(PApplet p) {
    plot = new GPlot(p);
    plot.setPos(mx, my);
    plot.setDim(100, 100);
    // Set the plot title and the axis labels
    plot.setTitleText("Exponential law");
    plot.getXAxis().setAxisLabelText("x");
    plot.getYAxis().setAxisLabelText("y");

    //plot.setPoints(points);
    plot.setLineColor(color(0, 0, 0));
    plot.setPointColor(color(100, 100, 255));

  // create a control window canvas and add it to

  cc = new MyCanvas();
  cc.pre(); // use cc.post(); to draw on top of existing controllers.
  cp5.addCanvas(cc) // add the canvas to cp5
     .setPosition(100,400)
     .setSize(100,100); // Does not work

It seems this is setting your size. The source code is not complicated for this one. CHeck it out: controlp5/src/controlP5/Canvas.java at master · sojamo/controlp5 · GitHub
