push_style()

The push_style() function saves the current style settings and pop_style() restores the prior settings.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.ellipse(0, 50, 33, 33)  # left circle
    
    py5.push_style()  # start a new style
    py5.stroke_weight(10)
    py5.fill(204, 153, 0)
    py5.ellipse(50, 50, 33, 33)  # middle circle
    py5.pop_style()  # restore original style
    
    py5.ellipse(100, 50, 33, 33)  # right circle

def setup():
    py5.ellipse(0, 50, 33, 33)  # left circle
    
    with py5.push_style():  # start a new style
        py5.stroke_weight(10)
        py5.fill(204, 153, 0)
        py5.ellipse(33, 50, 33, 33)  # left-middle circle
        
        with py5.push_style():  # start another new style
            py5.stroke(0, 102, 153)
            py5.ellipse(66, 50, 33, 33)  # right-middle circle
    
    py5.ellipse(100, 50, 33, 33)  # right circle

Description

The push_style() function saves the current style settings and pop_style() restores the prior settings. Note that these functions are always used together. They allow you to change the style settings and later return to what you had. When a new style is started with push_style(), it builds on the current style information. The push_style() and pop_style() method pairs can be nested to provide more control. (See the second example for a demonstration.)

The style information controlled by the following functions are included in the style: fill(), stroke(), tint(), stroke_weight(), stroke_cap(), stroke_join(), image_mode(), rect_mode(), ellipse_mode(), shape_mode(), color_mode(), text_align(), text_font(), text_mode(), text_size(), text_leading(), emissive(), specular(), shininess(), and ambient().

This method can be used as a context manager to ensure that pop_style() always gets called, as shown in the last example.
