Can I get a grid please

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

Hi,

I am new to Processing and I don't draw that well. When I program I need a 2d grid to show me where things start and end. If I had an overlay in the IDE, I could create faster, but as of now it's plug in the x y axis and run the program.

It takes a long time to get the sketch to look right.

Is there a tool or library command that will give me a 2d grid to work from so I can cut my draw time?

There's not a tool or library command that I know of, but this is fairly easy if you use a for loop:

Copy code

int step = 50;
void setup() {
size(400, 400);
background(255);
stroke(0);
for(int i = 0; i < width/step; i++ ) {
line(i*step, 0, i*step, height);
line(0, i*step, width, i*step);
}
}
