Name

mouseReleased()

Description

The mouseReleased() function is called every time a mouse button is released.

Mouse and keyboard events only work when a program has draw(). Without draw(), the code is only run once and then stops listening for events.

Examples

  • // Click within the image to change 
// the value of the rectangle

int value = 0;

void draw() {
  fill(value);
  rect(25, 25, 50, 50);
}

void mouseReleased() {
  if (value == 0) {
    value = 255;
  } else {
    value = 0;
  }
}

Syntax

  • mouseReleased()
  • mouseReleased(event)

Return

  • void
