Objects from primitive shape.
May 13th, 2009, 6:15am  
It is possible to create object from primitive shapes? What I want to achieve is something link this:

Code:

class MyClass {
Shape square;

MyClass(int size) {
 square = new rect(size, size);
}

void draw() {
// draw....
square.draw();
}
}

MyClass class;

void setup() {
class = new MyClass(5);
}

void draw() {
 class.draw();
}


For what I understood if I call rect(x, x) in draw() method it will paint a rect in the screen. But how can I create object composed by rect()? Do I build basic shape from scratch?

Thanks.

Indeed, the idea is to draw each base shape in the draw() method of your class.

Right. But if i.e. I apply a rotate(angle) into one draw method it will rotate all shapes in all classes...
