line

line()

Description

Draws a line (a direct path between two points) to the screen. If called with only 4 parameters, it will draw a line in 2D with a default width of 1 pixel. This width can be modified by using the stroke_weight() function. A line cannot be filled, therefore the fill() function will not affect the color of a line. So to color a line, use the stroke() function.

Examples

from proceso import Sketch


p5 = Sketch()
p5.describe(
    "A line 78 pixels long running from top-center to bottom-right of canvas"
)

p5.line(30, 20, 85, 75)

from proceso import Sketch


p5 = Sketch()
p5.describe(
    "3 lines of various stroke colors. Form top, bottom and right sides of a square"
)

p5.line(30, 20, 85, 20)
p5.stroke(126)
p5.line(85, 20, 85, 75)
p5.stroke(255)
p5.line(85, 75, 30, 75)
