z, depth or layer position with JAVA2D
Oct 6th, 2008, 12:57pm  
Hi,

I couldn't find a answer to that. The only possible way of doing this seems to be when using P3D or OPENGL.

When you write in JAVA2D, the z position is define by the order you write elements. ex:

rect(x, y, width, height); // Behind
ellipse(x, y, width, height) //Front

Is there a way to add the z position without using 3D ?

Cheeeeeers.

Is it because we are filling pixels in JAVA2D? It go trough draw() and draw everything on top of each other. At the end, it cleans everything and go through draw() again. That's why the background() is needed to clean the 'scene'.
