cloister Full Member Offline Posts: 138	drawing into a PImage instead of the screen? Feb 16th, 2009, 7:31pm   Is there any way to get regular drawing operations (line, ellipse, etc) to render into a PImage object rather than into the processing window directly? At times it would be nice to be able to work "offscreen" in a separate buffer (the PImage), and render the image onto the screen when it's ready. Any way to do this?
