Hello @appas.

You will get that error for any of the functions here:

- [processing/java/libraries/svg/src/processing/svg/PGraphicsSVG.java at master · processing/processing · GitHub](https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/java/libraries/svg/src/processing/svg/PGraphicsSVG.java#L335)

This prints the exception to console:

```auto
 protected void nope(String function) {
    throw new RuntimeException("No " + function + "() for PGraphicsSVG");
  }

```

The guidelines here may help:

> Summary (TL;DR) Ask complete questions to get better answers! Be specific. For example: I want to load an image. I tried using createImg() , and I expected the image to be on canvas, but what happened instead was the image showing up below the canvas. Isolate your problem and work in small steps. Share only the code directly related to your problem if it is part of a bigger project, and if something isn’t working, try the smallest code that could do the thing you want. Can we run your code to …

Try to generate a [Minimum, Complete, Verifiable Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) as per the guidelines and you may narrow things down.

Start [whittling away](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/whittle-away) at your code until you just have code that generates the error.
