  1. Introduction to Programming With Computer Language Processing

  2. Processing • Born in 2001 at MIT. • Open source. • Language and environment to program images, animation, and sounds. • Build on Java. • www.processing.org

  3. Processing • Based on Java. • Case sensitive • Statement terminates by ; • Three major components: • Fundamentals: data types, variables, operators… • Control structs: • Functions • Decisions: if • Loops: while, for • Data structures: • Class and objects • Many examples

  4. Processing • Interactions: • Mouse operations: move, click… • No buttons, labels... Use Java to add them • Libraries and references: • Use Help • Go to www.processing.org

  5. Data Representationsin a Computer • Computer understands only 0’s and 1’s. • Text file: ASCII file  numbers • Binary file: all numbers • Images and graphics: every pixel has a number representing • Grayscale (0 – 255) • Color (red: 0-255, green: 0-255, blue: 0-255) • Optional: alpha (0-255), color transparency.

  6. Grayscale: black  white

  7. Red + Green = Yellow Red + Blue = Purple Green + Blue = Cyan (blue-green) Red + Green + Blue = White no colors = Black Three basic colors can generate all colors

  8. Pixels and Coordinates • Pixel: unit of image resolution • Coordinate system: • Top-left corner: (0,0) • X axis: horizontal axis, left to right • Y axis: Vertical, top to buttom • Point: (X-coordinate, Y-coordinate) • Examples: Point (0,0), (2,5), (3,3)…

  9. Graphical Shapes: Line • Two points determines a line: p1(x1,x2) and p2(x2,y2) • Function to draw a line Line(x1,y1,x2,y2);

  10. Graphical Shapes: Rect • Three modes: CORNER, CENTER, CORNERS. Default: CORNER • CORNER: rectMode(CORNER); rect(x1,y1,w,h); //x1,y1: top-left corner • CENTER: rectMode(CENTER); rect(x,y,w,h); //x,y: center • CORNERS: rectMode(CORNERS); rect(x1,y1,x2,y2); //x1,y1,x2,y2: top-left and button right coners

  11. Graphical Shapes: Ellipse • Three modes: CORNER, CENTER, CORNERS. Default: CENTER • CORNER: ellipseMode(CORNER); ellipse(x1,y1,w,h); //x1,y1: top-left corner • CENTER: ellipseMode(CENTER); ellipse(x,y,w,h); //x,y: center coord. • CORNERS: ellipseMode(CORNERS); ellipse(x1,y1,x2,y2); //x1,y1,x2,y2: top-left and button right coners

  12. Graphical Shapes: Exercises • Draw a circle • Draw a triangle using • function triangle • function line • Draw an angle • Draw a quad using • function quad • function line

  13. Graphical Contents • stroke(color); • fill(color); • noStroke(); • noFill(); • strokeWeight(int); • background(color);

  14. Important System Variables • mouseX, mouseY: current x,y coordinates of the mouse • pmouseX, pmouseY: previous x,y coordinates of the mouse

  15. Important Interactive Functions • mouseMoved(); • mouseDragged(); • mouseClicked(); • mousePressed(); • mouseReleased(); • keyPressed();
