Hi everyone,

I don't think this should be difficult, but I can't get it to work. I want do draw Bezier shapes like this:

Code:

    stroke(#FFFFFF,100);
    noFill();
    beginShape(POLYGON);
    for (int i=0; i<x2s.length-1; i++)
    {
	    vertex(x2s[i], y2s[i]);
	    bezierVertex(x1, y1, x1, y1, x2s[i+1], y2s[i+1]);
    }
    vertex(x2s[x2s.length-1], y2s[x2s.length-1]);
    bezierVertex(x1, y1, x1, y1, x2s[0], y2s[0]);
    endShape(CLOSE);
 

Now, that works. But because I have many such shapes that I would like to use over and over again, I tried to create a function like this one:

Code:

PGraphics2D create_cell_shape(int x1, int y1, int[] x2s, int[] y2s, color bg, color st) {
	smooth();
	stroke(#AAAAAA);
	fill(#FFFFFF);
	
	PGraphics2D cell = new PGraphics2D();
	cell.beginDraw();
	
    cell.beginShape(POLYGON);
    for (int i=0; i<x2s.length-1; i++)
    {
	    cell.vertex(x2s[i], y2s[i]);
	    cell.bezierVertex(x1, y1, x1, y1, x2s[i+1], y2s[i+1]);
    }
    cell.vertex(x2s[x2s.length-1], y2s[x2s.length-1]);
    cell.bezierVertex(x1, y1, x1, y1, x2s[0], y2s[0]);
    cell.endShape(CLOSE);

	cell.endDraw();
	image(cell);
	
    return cell;
}
 

I played around a little with the type of object that 'cell' is, so at least it compiles now, but I can't get it do display in the draw() function, as in shape() or image() and so forth.

Any ideas about this would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, indeed! Using PGraphics actually, not PGraphics2D. Thanks!
