I im new to processing and its  great !

I did my first Sketch , its just three shapes a background , and a line that comes from the center following the mouse.




But i have some problems.


Why does the stroke of the rect and ellipse wich is 20 , like the line because there is an "strokeWeight (20);" gets overlaped by its own fill color,white ?

I want the ellipses to be on top of everything so i can see the whole circle, now i only see half.

Here's the code




// setup , configuracion
void setup (){
 background (234,10,98);
 size(300,300);
 smooth();
 frameRate (30 );
 cursor(CROSS);
}
void draw(){



   
 if(mouseX > width/2){
   strokeWeight(20);
   stroke(#27FF00 ,20);//linea verde
 }
 else
 {
   strokeWeight(20);
   stroke(#E4FF00,20);// linea amarillo
 }
 if(mouseX !=0 && mouseY != 0){
   line ( width/2,height/2,mouseX,mouseY);
 }
    fill(255);
   
 rect(width/4,height/4,width/2,height/2);
   ellipse(width/2,230,100,100);
   ellipse(width/2,height/5,50,50);

}

Thanx , if i change the stroke to a non transparent color , yes the strokes look ok , the thing is i want the line to have a 20% of alpha drawing , so it appears little by little.

So i want the line to be (#27FF00,20) , but the rect and the ellipse no.

If by calling background (234,10,98) at the beginning of the draw() method).

You mean to write likr this =

void draw(){
   background (234,10,98);

I did it , but then no stroke is nearly visible.

How do i  , make the rect and ellipse to have a solid color while the line has a 20% of alpha being drawn

Thanx
