| Description |
|
Using the beginShape() and endShape() functions allow creating more complex forms. beginShape() begins recording vertices for a shape and endShape() stops recording. The value of the MODE parameter tells it which types of shapes to create from the provided vertices. The parameters available for beginShape() are LINES, LINE_STRIP, LINE_LOOP, TRIANGLES, TRIANGLE_FAN, TRIANGLE_STRIP, QUADS, QUAD_STRIP, and POLYGON. If there is no MODE specified, POLYGON is used. After calling the beginShape() function, a series of vertex() commands must follow. To stop drawing the shape, call endShape(). The vertex() function with two parameters specifies a position in 2D and the vertex() function with three parameters specifies a position in 3D. Each shape will be outlined with the current stroke color and filled with the fill color. Transformations such as translate(), rotate(), and scale() do not work within beginShape(). |
