The line() function is an inbuilt function in p5.js which is used to draw a line. In order to change the color of the line stroke() function is used and in order to change the width of the line strokeWeight() function is used.
Syntax:
line(x1, y1, x2, y2)
or
line(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)
Parameters: This function accepts six parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- x1: This parameter takes the x-coordinate of the first point.
- y1: This parameter takes the y-coordinate of the first point.
- z1: This parameter takes the z-coordinate of the first point.
- x2: This parameter takes the x-coordinate of the second point.
- y2: This parameter takes the y-coordinate of the second point.
- z2: This parameter takes the z-coordinate of the second point.
Below programs illustrates the line() function in P5.js:
Example 1: This example uses line() function to draw a line without using z-coordinate.
function setup() { // Set the canvas size createCanvas(400, 400); } function draw() { // Set the background color background(220); // Set the stroke weight strokeWeight(6); //x1, y1 = 38, 31; x2, y2 = 300, 20; // Use line() function to draw line line(38, 31, 30, 200); } |
Output:
Example 2: This example uses line() function to draw the line using z-coordinate.
function setup() { // Set the canvas size createCanvas(400, 400); } function draw() { // Set the background color background(220); // Set the stroke weight strokeWeight(6); //x1, y1, z1 = 38, 31, 34; // x2, y2, z2 = 300, 200, 45; // Use line() function to draw line line(38, 31, 34, 300, 200, 45); } |
