Name

mouseReleased()

Description

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

This function can be called with or without a MouseEvent parameter. When called with the parameter, you get access to additional information about the mouse event, including the exact coordinates, which button was released, and any modifier keys that were held down.

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()
