We're happy to announce a developmental release from this Google Summer of Code 2019 project! This release includes addition of new APIs. In addition to the new APIs, many examples and tutorials are added for p5 modules (the details can be found on the p5 documentation website).

List of new APIs

  • Typography methods p5.text_align, p5.text_leading and p5.text_size allows the user to control different position and size attributes of the text. Methods p5.text_ascent, p5.text_descent and p5.text_width can be used to obtain different dimensional attributes of text.

  • p5.load_shape function allows the user to load an SVG file which can be rendered on the screen. The SVG shape is converted into PShape primitives and rendered on the screen using p5.shape method.

  • The methods p5.begin_shape and p5.end_shape can be used to make custom shapes defined by different vertex types (p5.vertex, p5.curve_vertex, p5.bezier_vertex, p5.quadratic_vertex). Contours inside a shape can also be created using p5.begin_contour and p5.end_contour methods.

  • Stroke methods allows the user to control the stroke width and styles:

    • p5.stroke_weight: allows for specifying the width of stroke
    • p5.stroke_cap: allows the user to set the style of line endings
    • p5.stroke_join: allows the user to set the style of joints which connect the line segments

  • This release introduces limited 3D support. New functions for :

    • The p5.camera allows for specifying the camera coordinates in 3D space
    • The projection functions p5.ortho and p5.perspective allow the user to control the type of projection system being used to render 3D objects on the screen
    • New 3D shape primitives are added: p5.box, p5.plane, p5.sphere, p5.ellipsoid, p5.cylinder, p5.cone, p5.torus

List of issues fixed in this release

  • #129 millis() does not go beyond 1 second and gives microseconds()
  • #114 Rectangle not overlaying on line correctly
  • #91 Arc does not render correctly with transparency
  • #90 arc outline shows up as line in corner of window

This release also includes contributions from @edurojasr, @abhikpal and @jeremydouglass. Thanks :)
