rotate_x()
Contents
rotate_x()¶
Rotates around the x-axis the amount specified by the angle
parameter.
Examples¶

1 2 3 4 5 | def setup():
py5.size(100, 100, py5.P3D)
py5.translate(py5.width//2, py5.height//2)
py5.rotate_x(py5.PI/3.0)
py5.rect(-26, -26, 52, 52)

Description¶
Rotates around the x-axis the amount specified by the angle
parameter. Angles should be specified in radians (values from 0
to TWO_PI
) or converted from degrees to radians with the radians() function. Coordinates are always rotated around their relative position to the origin. Positive numbers rotate in a clockwise direction and negative numbers rotate in a counterclockwise direction. Transformations apply to everything that happens after and subsequent calls to the function accumulates the effect. For example, calling rotate_x(PI/2)
and then rotate_x(PI/2)
is the same as rotate_x(PI)
. If rotate_x()
is run within the draw()
, the transformation is reset when the loop begins again. This function requires using P3D
as a third parameter to size() as shown in the example.
Underlying Processing method: rotateX
Syntax¶
rotate_x(angle: float, /) -> None
Parameters¶
angle: float - angle of rotation specified in radians
