Description
Now it is possible to identify each window as @ofTheo suggested here in this thread
https://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/multiple-windows-how-to-know-which-window-is-being-drawn/40538/3
it would be great to have a simpler way of handling drawing in different windows.
void drawWindow(ofEventArgs & args) {
int index = args.windowIndex;
}
