PbeginShape

processing

Using the PbeginShape and PendShape functions allow creating more complex forms. PbeginShape begins recording vertices for a shape and PendShape stops recording.

The value of the kind parameter tells it which types of shapes to create from the provided vertices. The parameters available for beginShape() are POLYGON, POINTS, LINES, TRIANGLES, TRIANGLE_FAN, TRIANGLE_STRIP, QUADS, and QUAD_STRIP. After calling the PbeginShape function, a series of Pvertex commands must follow. To stop drawing the shape, call PendShape. The Pvertex function with two parameters specifies a position in 2D. Each shape will be outlined with the current stroke color and filled with the fill color.

Transformations such as Ptranslate, Protate, and Pscale do not work within PbeginShape. It is also not possible to use other shapes, such as Pellipse or Prect within PbeginShape.

The P2D and P3D renderers allow Pstroke and Pfill to be altered on a per-vertex group basis. Settings such as PstrokeWeight, PstrokeCap, and PstrokeJoin cannot be changed while inside a PbeginShape/PendShape block with any renderer.

Up to Warp 10 1.2.18, PbeginShape could be called without the kind parameter. It defaults to POLYGON.
