PROCESSING: CREATIVE CODING AND COMPUTATIONAL ART 368 Figure 9-20. Hybrid Shape 2 sketch This sketch makes a good gear shape. If you change the value of the sides variable in the example, the shape scales nicely. I think it would be a good exercise to try to “functionalize” this last example. In other words, try sticking the main drawing routine in a function with a bunch of parameters, as I did with the polygon and sprocket examples. Besides curveVertex(), you can also use bezierVertex() in conjunction with regular vertex() calls, but I’ll also leave that for you to try on your own. The other shape modes There are a number of additional shape modes. Many of these are more applicable to 3D than 2D, for creating a skin or polygonal mesh around a 3D form. In the 3D chapters, you’ll learn how to plot some 3D forms. For now, I’m just going to give a brief overview of what the other modes do. The first two you’ll look at, TRIANGLES and QUADS, don’t form a contiguous mesh, but rather simply create individual triangles and quadrangles from lists of coordinates. In the next example, I’ll generate 90 triangles using a for loop and the TRIANGLES mode (see Figure 9-21): //Random Triangles size (500, 500); background(255); smooth(); beginShape(TRIANGLES); for (int i=0; i
