Figure 6-2. Two-point sketch
Adding another point really changes things; it brings up issues of symmetry, balance, and
the gestalt (seeing a face), and begins to suggest a line.
Now add a third point (see Figure 6-3):
point(25, 50);
point(50, 50);
point(75, 50);
Figure 6-3. Three-point sketch
The line gestalt is certainly getting pretty strong now. The three dots divide top and
bottom and have a certain horizontal velocity as your eye sweeps across them.
Now add some code to format the display window, and also add a couple more points (see
Figure 6-4):
size(300, 300);
background(0);
stroke(255);
point(30, 150);
point(60, 150);
point(90, 150);
point(120, 150);
point(150, 150);
point(180, 150);
point(210, 150);
point(240, 150);
point(270, 150);
