ionosphere YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4	Getting Java Image object of the current sketch Mar 30th, 2010, 12:55am   I used to have some experience in Java, and when we want to draw something in Java, we create an Image, get graphical context and draw it from there. What about in Processing? I need to get a reference to the image we are drawing. Is it possible to get the Image object in Processing?

In the following example, I draw something to the left half of the screen, grab an image of it, and then draw it on the right half of the screen. Quote: PImage img; void setup(){ size(400,200); img = createImage(400,200,RGB); noStroke(); } void draw(){   fill(255,0,0);   rect(0,0,200,200);   fill(0,255,0);   rect(20,30,40,50);     img = g.get();   image(img, 200, 0); }
