Example 2: This example uses mouseY variable to display vertical position ofmouse.
function setup() { // Create canvas createCanvas(1000, 400); // Set the font size textSize(20); } function draw() { // Set background color background(200); // Create circle circle(mouseX, mouseY, 30); // Display position of mouse on Y-axis text( "Position of mouseY relative to canvas is: " + mouseY, 30, 40); } |
