Creative Programming - Workshop 02: Mathias Funk (ID DI), Fall 2012

This document provides an overview of an introductory creative programming workshop focusing on shapes, colors, coordinates, and animating shapes in Processing. The workshop covers drawing basic shapes like rectangles, triangles, and ellipses using different drawing modes. It also discusses the RGB color model and how to specify colors. Additionally, it demonstrates transformations like translate, scale, and rotate as well as reversing transformations. The document concludes by introducing animation concepts like declaring variables to change values over time and moving a rectangle across the screen from frame to frame.

How colors work in Processing


Color rendering in Processing works in the additive color model: RGB
fill (<RED>, <GREEN>, <BLUE>); // all values from 0 - 255 possible

fill(255, 0, 0); // pure red


fill(0, 0, 130); // dark blue
How to get yellow?

When all values are same you will get grayscale colors (or white or black).
fill(120) is a shortcut for fill(120, 120, 120)

Colors...

Colors, really

13

Outline aka Border aka Stroke

noStroke();

stroke(0,255,0);
14

Smoothing aka Anti-Aliasing

smooth();

noSmooth();

Dynamics animating shapes

void setup( ) {
size(200, 200);
}

just once
on start up

every frame,
this happens
void draw( ) {
// erase background
background(0);
// draw some stuff
// ...
}

by the way: every


frame starts without
any transformations
25

// declare variable and set start value


int x = 0;

void setup( ) {
size(400, 400);
}

void draw( ) {
// erase background
background(0);
// add 1 to variable
x = x + 1;
// draw a rectangle of 20 by 20 pixels
rect(x, x, 20, 20);
}

just once
on start up

every frame
this happens
