I’m not sure if there is a built-in constrain method in OF, but you could easily write your own with just a few if statements like so:

float myApp::constrain(float val, float min, float max){
if(val < min){
return min;
}
else if(val > max){
return max
}
return val;
}

The function is called ofClamp

Most of the core functions in ofx don’t carry any docs or explanation, for eg., I was trying to lookout for the explanation of ofSetVerticalSync.

Please do guide me!

Thanks in advance…
