Displaying Text

To display text in Processing, there is the text()-function. This function takes at least three parameters:

1. the text to be displayed
2. the x-position (float)
3. the y-position (float)

Basically, you can pass almost any variable type as the first parameter to the Text function. It then simply displays the value of the variable.

// Processing
String txt = "Hi!";
text(txt,width/2,height/2);

// p5.js
let txt = "Hi!";
text(txt,width/2,height/2);

// Processing
char c = "@";
text(c,width/2,height/2);

// p5.js
let c = "@";
text(c,width/2,height/2);

//Processing & P5.js
text("Hi!",width/2,height/2);

//Processing & P5.js
text(frameCount,width/2,height/2);
