Name PShape Examples PShape s; s = loadShape("bot.svg"); smooth(); shape(s, 10, 10, 80, 80); Description Datatype for storing shapes. Processing can currently load and display SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) shapes. Before a shape is used, it must be loaded with the loadShape() function. The shape() function is used to draw the shape to the display window. The PShape object contain a group of methods, linked below, that can operate on the shape data. The loadShape() method supports SVG files created with Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator. It is not a full SVG implementation, but offers some straightforward support for handling vector data. Fields width Shape document width height Shape document height Methods isVisible() Returns a boolean value "true" if the image is set to be visible, "false" if not setVisible() Sets the shape to be visible or invisible disableStyle() Disables the shape's style data and uses Processing styles enableStyle() Enables the shape's style data and ignores the Processing styles getChild() Returns a child element of a shape as a PShape object translate() Displaces the shape rotate() Rotates the shape rotateX() Rotates the shape around the x-axis rotateY() Rotates the shape around the y-axis rotateZ() Rotates the shape around the z-axis scale() Increases and decreases the size of a shape Constructor PShape() Usage Web & Application Related shape()loadShape()shapeMode()
