Jack Perkins Junior Member Offline Posts: 99	Drawing offscreen / to a PImage Jun 13th, 2009, 4:32pm   I couldn't see an obvious way to draw to a PImage with normal processing functions. I know it is possible to change pixels with set(), or masking, but I am looking for a way to draw onto another 'canvas' offscreen and then place it on screen when I'm ready. Any clues?

Actually, nearly all drawing functions working on main sketch area are usable here (the main area is a PGraphics, available under the name g).
