Py5Graphics.begin_draw()

Sets the default properties for a Py5Graphics object.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P2D)

    g = py5.create_graphics(60, 60, py5.P2D)
    g.begin_draw()
    g.translate(30, 30)
    g.begin_shape()
    g.vertex(-10, -10)
    g.vertex(10, -10)
    g.vertex(10, 10)
    g.vertex(-10, 10)
    g.end_shape(py5.CLOSE)
    g.end_draw()

    py5.image(g, 0, 0)
    py5.image(g, 25, 25)

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P2D)

    g = py5.create_graphics(60, 60, py5.P2D)
    with g.begin_draw():
        g.translate(30, 30)
        with g.begin_closed_shape():
            g.vertex(-10, -10)
            g.vertex(10, -10)
            g.vertex(10, 10)
            g.vertex(-10, 10)

    py5.image(g, 0, 0)
    py5.image(g, 25, 25)

Description

Sets the default properties for a Py5Graphics object. It should be called before anything is drawn into the object. After the drawing commands have concluded, call Py5Graphics.end_draw() to finalize the Py5Graphics object.

This method can be used as a context manager to ensure that Py5Graphics.end_draw() always gets called, as shown in the second example.

Underlying Processing method: PGraphics.beginDraw
