Tabs, Set font and position with controlP5

jhsa · August 25, 2021, 8:13pm

Guys, I am trying to set the position of the tabs in “Processing” but that doesn’t work.
Also using “.setFont(font1)” throws a “NullPointerException” error.
This also doesn’t do anything " setPosition(float, float)".

What is happening? Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I don’t think you added a font to the tabs?
Also

read_data = new int[8192];

has to stay uncommented.

import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 cp5;

PFont font ,font1,font2,font3 ;
int  read_data[];
void setup() {
  clear();
 read_data = new int[8192];
  size(800, 600); // Create Window
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
 font = createFont("Arial Bold", 88);

Yes, I have that on the code, but i get that “Null Exception” error when I add the font setting to the “Add Tab” code.

void setup() {
  clear();
  read_data = new int[8192];
  size(800, 600); // Create Window
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
  font = createFont("Arial Bold", 18);
  font1 = createFont("Arial Bold", 10);
  font2 = createFont("Arial Bold", 13);
  font3 = createFont("Arial Bold", 12);

I did, many times. But I cannot find out how to use that solution I am a beginner, remember?

glv · August 29, 2021, 12:39pm

Hello @jhsa,

I am not a controlP5 user (on my to do list) but can direct you to resources that I am aware of:

GitHub - sojamo/controlp5: A gui library for processing.org
This is in the Contributed Libraries examples:

There may be something in there that helps.

:)

jhsa · August 29, 2021, 12:54pm

Thanks, I haven’t seen that, I did look in the examples
