Description

Find a target Py5Shape object from anywhere within a Py5Shape object that is defined as a GROUP. This is similar to Py5Shape.get_child() in that it locates a child Py5Shape object, except that it can start the search from another child shape instead of the parent.

Underlying Java method: PShape.findChild

Syntax

find_child(target: str, /) -> Py5Shape

Parameters

  • target: str - name of child object
