Re: mirror image Reply #1 - May 11th, 2009, 10:05pm   There is a trick with scale that you could use. It would probably be best used with pushMatrix() and popMatrix() for each image (or group of images) that you want to draw mirrored. http://processing.org/reference/pushMatrix_.html http://processing.org/reference/popMatrix_.html Code: //in draw() //store scale,translation,etc pushMatrix(); //flip across x axis scale(-1,1); //The x position is negative because we flipped image(a, -x, y, a.width/2, a.height/2); //restore previous translation,etc popMatrix();
