Processing reference for "fill()" function shows "0x" as "ox"

Closed this issue · 1 comments

In the reference materials for Processing,
hexadecimal numbers appear as "ox" instead of "0x" (i.e. oh-ex instead of zero-ex).

Upon closer examination, I see that the character before the "x" is not the lower-case letter "o"
but it nevertheless appears differently from the digit zero (on Safari and Chrome browsers).

I suppose this is a font problem, rather than a documentation problem,
but the result is very confusing and should be corrected.

Here is a quote from the page at
file:///Applications/ExtraApps/Processing.app/Contents/Java/modes/java/reference/fill_.html

"When using hexadecimal notation to specify a color, use "#" or "0x" before the values (e.g., #CCFFAA or 0xFFCCFFAA)."

P.S. This was noticed by one of my students, in an "Intro. to Programming" course,
where Processing is being used as the language, this semester.

Agreed this is likely a font issue, although the '0' looks OK to me (does not appear as 'o').

Either way, this repo is an old archive; you may want to log this issue in:

…as it won't be addressed here. I suggest including a screenshot with what you see, as the issue may be platform-specific.
