Class

PImage

Name

set()

Examples
example pic
PImage img = loadImage("tower.jpg");
color black = color(0, 0, 0);
img.set(30, 20, black); 
img.set(85, 20, black); 
img.set(85, 75, black); 
img.set(30, 75, black); 
image(img, 0, 0);
Description Changes the color of any pixel or writes an image directly into the image. The x and y parameter specify the pixel or the upper-left corner of the image. The color parameter specifies the color value.

Setting the color of a single pixel with set(x, y) is easy, but not as fast as putting the data directly into pixels[]. The equivalent statement to "set(x, y, #000000)" using pixels[] is "pixels[y*width+x] = #000000". The (BETA) version of Processing requires calling loadPixels() to load the display window data into the pixels[] array before getting the values and calling updatePixels() to update the window.
Syntax
img.set(x, y, color)
Parameters
img PImage: any variable of type PImage
x int: x-coordinate of the pixel or upper-left corner of the image
y int: y-coordinate of the pixel or upper-left corner of the image
color color: any value of the color datatype
Usage Web & Application
