Static mousePressed 

pub static mousePressed: MousePressedInternalType

The mousePressed() function is called once after every time a mouse button is pressed. The mouseButton variable (see the related reference entry) can be used to determine which button has been pressed. If no mousePressed() function is defined, the touchStarted() function will be called instead if it is defined.

Browsers may have different default behaviors attached to various mouse events. To prevent any default behavior for this event, add "return false" to the end of the method.

Examples

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

let value = 0;
function draw() {
  fill(value);
  rect(25, 25, 50, 50);
}
function mousePressed() {
  if (value === 0) {
    value = 255;
  } else {
    value = 0;
  }
}

function mousePressed() {
  ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 5, 5);
  // prevent default
  return false;
}

// returns a MouseEvent object
// as a callback argument
function mousePressed(event) {
  console.log(event);
}

Parameters

event? optional MouseEvent callback argument.
