frame_rate()

Specifies the number of frames to be displayed every second.

Examples

pos = 0


def setup():
    py5.frame_rate(4)


def draw():
    global pos
    py5.background(204)
    pos += 1
    py5.line(pos, 20, pos, 80)
    if pos > py5.width:
        pos = 0

Description

Specifies the number of frames to be displayed every second. For example, the function call frame_rate(30) will attempt to refresh 30 times a second. If the processor is not fast enough to maintain the specified rate, the frame rate will not be achieved. Setting the frame rate within setup() is recommended. The default rate is 60 frames per second.

Underlying Processing method: frameRate
