Hello

I am adding some shapes and strokes to my background. I want to copy its canvas/graphics into a PImage. how it is possible to make it?

PImage backgroundCopy;
void setup()
 {
   size(300,300);
   backgroundCopy = createImage(width,height,RGB);
 }
 
void draw()
 {
   background(0);
   stroke(255);
   line(0,0,width,height);
   
   // backgroundCopy = copy background???? how?!?!?!?!
   // applyEffect();
 }
 
void applyEffect()
 {
   for (int i=0;i<backgroundCopy.width*backgroundCopy.height;i++)
     {
//        apply some effect here
     }
 }
