Description

Get a child Py5Shape object’s index from a parent Py5Shape object that is defined as a GROUP. Inside Processing, a group Py5Shape object is an ordered list of child shapes. This method will retrieve the index for a particular child in that ordered list. That index value is useful when using other methods such as Py5Shape.get_child() or Py5Shape.remove_child().

Underlying Processing method: PShape.getChildIndex

Syntax

get_child_index(who: Py5Shape, /) -> int

Parameters

  • who: Py5Shape - Py5Shape object
