p5.Graphics

A class to describe a drawing surface that's separate from the main canvas.

Each p5.Graphics object provides a dedicated drawing surface called a graphics buffer. Graphics buffers are helpful when drawing should happen offscreen. For example, separate scenes can be drawn offscreen and displayed only when needed.

p5.Graphics objects have nearly all the drawing features of the main canvas. For example, calling the method myGraphics.circle(50, 50, 20) draws to the graphics buffer. The resulting image can be displayed on the main canvas by passing the p5.Graphics object to the image() function, as in image(myGraphics, 0, 0).

Note: createGraphics() is the recommended way to create an instance of this class.

उदाहरण

सिंटैक्स

p5.Graphics(width, height, renderer, [pInst], [canvas])

पैरामीटर्स

width
Number:

width of the graphics buffer in pixels.

height
Number:

height of the graphics buffer in pixels.

renderer
Constant:

renderer to use, either P2D or WEBGL.

pInst
P5:

sketch instance.

canvas
HTMLCanvasElement:

existing <canvas> element to use.

मेथड्स

reset

Resets the graphics buffer's transformations and lighting.

By default, the main canvas resets certain transformation and lighting values each time draw() executes. p5.Graphics objects must reset these values manually by calling myGraphics.reset().

remove

Removes the graphics buffer from the web page.

Calling myGraphics.remove() removes the graphics buffer's element from the web page. The graphics buffer also uses a bit of memory on the CPU that can be freed like so:

// Remove the graphics buffer from the web page.
myGraphics.remove();

// Delete the graphics buffer from CPU memory.
myGraphics = undefined;

Note: All variables that reference the graphics buffer must be assigned the value undefined to delete the graphics buffer from CPU memory. If any variable still refers to the graphics buffer, then it won't be garbage collected.

createFramebuffer

Creates a new p5.Framebuffer object with the same WebGL context as the graphics buffer.

p5.Framebuffer objects are separate drawing surfaces that can be used as textures in WebGL mode. They're similar to p5.Graphics objects and generally run much faster when used as textures. Creating a p5.Framebuffer object in the same context as the graphics buffer makes this speedup possible.

The parameter, options, is optional. An object can be passed to configure the p5.Framebuffer object. The available properties are:

  • format: data format of the texture, either UNSIGNED_BYTE, FLOAT, or HALF_FLOAT. Default is UNSIGNED_BYTE.
  • channels: whether to store RGB or RGBA color channels. Default is to match the graphics buffer which is RGBA.
  • depth: whether to include a depth buffer. Default is true.
  • depthFormat: data format of depth information, either UNSIGNED_INT or FLOAT. Default is FLOAT.
  • stencil: whether to include a stencil buffer for masking. depth must be true for this feature to work. Defaults to the value of depth which is true.
  • antialias: whether to perform anti-aliasing. If set to true, as in { antialias: true }, 2 samples will be used by default. The number of samples can also be set, as in { antialias: 4 }. Default is to match setAttributes() which is false (true in Safari).
  • width: width of the p5.Framebuffer object. Default is to always match the graphics buffer width.
  • height: height of the p5.Framebuffer object. Default is to always match the graphics buffer height.
  • density: pixel density of the p5.Framebuffer object. Default is to always match the graphics buffer pixel density.
  • textureFiltering: how to read values from the p5.Framebuffer object. Either LINEAR (nearby pixels will be interpolated) or NEAREST (no interpolation). Generally, use LINEAR when using the texture as an image and NEAREST if reading the texture as data. Default is LINEAR.

If the width, height, or density attributes are set, they won't automatically match the graphics buffer and must be changed manually.
