Is it possible, using pixels[] or get(), to read color data from an image that is not displayed in the window?
I am trying to color shapes using colors from an image, but I do not want the image visible on screen.

i.e, if I have a window with size - 100x100,
and a seedImage with dimensions 100x100 (e.g. a vertical gradient from white to black)
how can I do the following:

for (int x = 0; x<width; x+=10){
 for (int y = 0; y<height; y+=10){
   fill( seedImage.get(x,y) );
   rect(x, y, 10, 10);
 }
}

the reason I don't want the image visible is, every time draw runs, get() finds a rectangle already drawn there, samples its color, and returns the color of the rectangle instead of the original image below.

I feel like such a booger
Thank you so much!
