Can we know from the sketch which is the renderer being used? or at least if it is P3D?

There was this old discussion that pointed to the g methods g.is2D() and g.is3D().

This would be useful for me because my naive Slider code needs to call camera() to properly reset the view when P3D is in use (it tries to emulate some kind of HUD), but not otherwise, as it shows a warning if you are not using P3D...

Well maybe I can just use get_graphics()._instance.is3D()...

Right, you can call py5.get_graphics()._instance.is3D(). I could make that into a real py5 method in Py5Graphics so you don't need the ._instance part. It's an easy thing to add.

Keep in mind that currently the only 3D renderer offered by Processing is the P3D one but in the future there may be other 3D renderers.

If you want the name of the actual renderer, there's also another internal function you can access with py5.get_current_sketch()._instance.getRendererName(), which will return a Java string like JAVA2D, P3D, etc. or py5.get_current_sketch()._instance.sketchRenderer() which will return string for the renderer class.

cool... looking forward to the day that wonderful hidden **** renderer comes out ;-)

It was easy and I had time to do this while waiting for something else to finish. It will be in the next release.

I was going to make it a property so you wouldn't need the () but then I noticed Py5Shape has a method with the same name, so I thought it would be best to make them consistent.
