Vertices
by REAS <http://reas.com>

The beginShape() function begins recording vertices for a shape and endShape() stops recording. A vertex is a location in space specified by X, Y, and sometimes Z coordinates. beginShape() requires a parameter to tell it which type of shape to create from the provided vertices. The choices available are LINES, LINE_STRIP, LINE_LOOP, TRIANGLES, TRIANGLE_STRIP, QUADS, QUAD_STRIP, and POLYGON. After calling the beginShape() function, a series of vertex() functions must follow. To stop drawing the shape, call the endShape() functions.
