redraw()

Runs the code in draw() once.

By default, draw() tries to run 60 times per second. Calling noLoop() stops draw() from repeating. Calling redraw() will execute the code in the draw() function once.

Examples

redraw example 1

-- Click the canvas to move the circle.
local x = 0

function setup()
  size(100, 100)

  -- Turn off the draw loop.
  noLoop()

  describe(
    'A white half-circle on the left edge of a gray square. The circle moves a little to the right when the user clicks.'
  )
end

function draw()
  background(200)

  -- Draw the circle.
  circle(x, 50, 20)

  -- Increment x.
  x = x + 5
end

-- Run the draw loop when the user clicks.
function mouseClicked()
  redraw()
end
