Py5Shape.get_vertex()

The get_vertex() method returns a Py5Vector with the coordinates of the vertex point located at the position defined by the index parameter.

Examples

def setup():
    global s
    s = py5.create_shape()
    s.begin_shape()
    s.vertex(0, 0)
    s.vertex(60, 0)
    s.vertex(60, 60)
    s.vertex(0, 60)
    s.end_shape(py5.CLOSE)


def draw():
    py5.translate(20, 20)
    for i in range(0, s.get_vertex_count()):
        v = s.get_vertex(i)
        v.x += py5.random(-1, 1)
        v.y += py5.random(-1, 1)
        s.set_vertex(i, v)

    py5.shape(s)

Description

The get_vertex() method returns a Py5Vector with the coordinates of the vertex point located at the position defined by the index parameter. This method works when shapes are created as shown in the example, but won’t work properly when a shape is defined explicitly (e.g. create_shape(RECT, 20, 20, 80, 80).

Underlying Processing method: PShape.getVertex

    index: int,  # vertex index

get_vertex(
    index: int,  # vertex index
    vec: Py5Vector,  # target object to place vertex coordinates into
    /,
) -> Py5Vector
