Description¶
Draws a line (a direct path between two points) to the screen. The version of line()
with four parameters draws the line in 2D. To color a line, use the stroke() function. A line cannot be filled, therefore the fill() function will not affect the color of a line. 2D lines are drawn with a width of one pixel by default, but this can be changed with the stroke_weight() function. The version with six parameters allows the line to be placed anywhere within XYZ space. Drawing this shape in 3D with the z
parameter requires the P3D
parameter in combination with size() as shown in the third example.
Underlying Processing method: line
Syntax¶
line(x1: float, y1: float, x2: float, y2: float, /) -> None
line(x1: float, y1: float, z1: float, x2: float, y2: float, z2: float, /) -> None
Parameters¶
x1: float - x-coordinate of the first point
x2: float - x-coordinate of the second point
y1: float - y-coordinate of the first point
y2: float - y-coordinate of the second point
z1: float - z-coordinate of the first point
z2: float - z-coordinate of the second point
