size()

Creates a window at a specified size. Without size() function the default created window is created, generally at 800x600 pixels.

size() creates the main drawing window for a sketch. It should only be called once at the beginning of setup().

The first two parameters, width and height set the dimensions of the canvas and the values of the width and height system variables. For example, calling size(900, 500) creates a window that's 900×500 pixels.

Examples

end
