Configure

The configure block is an optional block that is used to configure the run-time environment. Most commonly it is used to configure the size of the window.

An example configuration that sets the window size, window resizability and title is as follows:

import org.openrndr.application
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.Random
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.uniform
import org.openrndr.math.Vector2

fun main() = application {
    configure {
        width = 1280
        height = 720
        windowResizable = true
        title = "OPENRNDR Example"
    }
    program {}
}

Starting your program with a custom configuration looks roughly like this.

import org.openrndr.application
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.Random
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.uniform
import org.openrndr.math.Vector2

fun main() = application {
    configure {
    // settings go here
    }
    program {
        // -- one time set up code goes here
        extend {
        // -- drawing code goes here
        }
    }
}

The table below lists a selection of configuration options. See the API for the complete list.

Property	Type	Default value	Description
width	Int	640	initial window width
height	Int	480	initial window height
windowResizable	Boolean	false	allow resizing of window?
fullscreen	Fullscreen	Fullscreen.DISABLED	When specified, either Fullscreen.CURRENT_DISPLAY_MODE to make the window match the current display resolution, or Fullscreen.SET_DISPLAY_MODE to change the display resolution to match width and height.
position	IntVector2?	null (center of the primary display)	initial window position (top-left corner)
display	Display?	null (primary display)	The display on which to create the window. All detected displays are present in the displays list within the application {} block.
windowAlwaysOnTop	Boolean	false	keep the window floating above other windows?
unfocusBehaviour	UnfocusBehaviour	UnfocusBehaviour.NORMAL	The value UnfocusBehaviour.THROTTLE can be specified to throttle the program to 10Hz when unfocused.
hideCursor	Boolean	false	hide the cursor?
title	String	"OPENRNDR"	window title
hideWindowDecorations	Boolean	false	hide window decorations?

Changing the configuration while the program runs

To modify the configuration after the program has started we can set various properties via application.

import org.openrndr.application
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.Random
import org.openrndr.extra.noise.uniform
import org.openrndr.math.Vector2

fun main() = application {
    program {
        extend {
            if (frameCount % 60 == 0) {
                application.cursorVisible = Random.bool()
                application.windowPosition = Vector2.uniform(0.0, 200.0)
            }
        }
    }
}
