Processing

Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. There are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning and prototyping.

2.1. The structure of language

/**
 * Setup and Draw. 
 * The code in setup() is run once when the program starts.
 * The code inside the draw() function runs continuously from top to bottom until the program is stopped. The
 * Reference from https://processing.org/examples/setupdraw.html

 **/

int y = 180;
void setup() {
  size(640, 360);  // Size must be the first statement
  stroke(255);  // Set line drawing color to white
}

void draw() { 
  background(0);  // Clear the screen with a black background
  line(0, y, width, y); 
  y = y - 1; 
  if (y < 0) { 
    y = height;
  }
}

2.2. Shape

/**
Reference from https://processing.org/examples/shapeprimitives.html

 **/
void setup(){
size(640, 360);
background(0);
noStroke();
}

void draw(){

fill(204);

fill(102);
rect(81, 81, 63, 63);                          //design rectangle    left top coordinate,width,height,also we have aother method to express rectange

fill(204);

2.3. The define of shape

}

  fill(237,28,36); //Setting the interior of a shape (fill)
  stroke(0,0,0); // Setting the outline (stroke) to black
  strokeWeight(5); //the define of bold
  point(23,34); //just the color of fill
  ellipse(40,50,20,40);  // center x,center y, widtd,heigh
  rect(60,60,30,30);   //x and y is the coordinate of the rectangle. w and h is rectangle's width and height.
