Py5Shape.add_child()

Adds a child Py5Shape object to a parent Py5Shape object that is defined as a GROUP.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.size(200, 200)
    # make a group Py5Shape
    house = py5.create_shape(py5.GROUP)

    # make three shapes
    path = py5.create_shape()
    path.begin_shape()
    path.vertex(-20, -20)
    path.vertex(0, -40)
    path.vertex(20, -20)
    path.end_shape()
    rectangle = py5.create_shape(py5.RECT, -20, -20, 40, 40)
    opening = py5.create_shape(py5.ELLIPSE, 0, 0, 20, 20)

    # add all three as children
    house.add_child(path)
    house.add_child(rectangle)
    house.add_child(opening)

    py5.background(52)
    py5.translate(py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_y)
    py5.shape(house)
