Creating space through fades<br />

Your last modification will be shifting the value of the stroke. Since color is represented<br />

numerically, you can easily shift the color’s value/chroma just by applying some calculations<br />

to the color’s numeric value. Going back to the vertical lines example, here’s the<br />

output fading to black. Notice how it feels like the form goes back into space (see<br />

Figure 6-16).<br />

size(300, 300);<br />

background(0);<br />

float cellWidth = width/30.0;<br />

// find ratio of value range(255) to width<br />

float val = cellWidth*(255.0/width);<br />

//vertical lines<br />

for (float i=cellWidth, v=255; i
