hi,
i'm trying to make a tree grow from the bottom of a 500x500 screen. the tree is supposed to grow larger as the hours of the day pass, and a leaf will appear for every minute in the hour. when it hits midnight, the tree should shrink back down to the initial small state.

how do i get the base of the tree to be anchored to the bottom of the screen and make it grow upwards? is there some kind of shapeMode function besides CENTER? right now, my svg image is approx 331 x 374px. i would like to have it scaled down to .25 its size to start out with, then grow to the 331 x 374 size.

here's part of my code below. any help is appreciated. thanks!


PShape tree;

float s;
float m;
float h;

void setup(){
 size(500, 500);
 smooth();
 tree = loadShape("tree.svg");
 noStroke();
 noLoop();
}

void draw(){
 background(0);

 s = map(second(), 0, 60, 0, 500);
 m = map(minute() + norm(second(), 0, 60), 0, 60, 0, 500);
 h = map(hour() + norm(hour(), 0, 60), 0, 24,0, 500);

 hrs();
}

//hours
void hrs(){
 pushMatrix();
 translate(width/2, height/2);
 for (int i = 0; i < h; i++){
   scale(0.25+i);
   shape(tree); //shape(sh, x, y, width, height)
   shapeMode(CENTER);
   println("grow tree grow!");
 }
 popMatrix();
}
