DRAWING CURVES, ARCS
There were A LOT of questions about drawing curves
curves in processing.org (arcs, splines, bezier)
drawing in processing (coordinate system, simple shapes)
working with color
Radians and Degrees, scanned from Getting Started With Processing (Reas, Fry 2010)
The Unit Circle
If you are more comfortable working with degrees, you can convert from Degrees to Radians with the radians() function. So instead of saying
arc(50, 15, 80, 80, HALF_PI, PI);
you might write:
arc(50, 75, 80, 80, radians (90), radians (180));
and it would be the same thing.
UPDATE (9/18) Dan Shiffman posted an example with different usages of arc() here.
PRINTING YOUR MOUSE COORDINATES TO THE CONSOLE
Drawing in Processing can be tedious if you always have to estimate where your coordinates should be. Wouldn’t it be great if you could use the coordinates of your mouse position to tell you where you need to draw?
Type this within the DRAW loop:
println (“X: ” + mouseX + ” Y: ” + mouseY);
now move your mouse pointer around the sketch and check your console for the coordinates!
