repeat shapes/imgs in random places

MoeProno

Hello there,

first of all I am sorry if this is a question that is already solved somewhere here in this forum, but I am a newbie in processing and I don't know where or for what I should search to find a good result.

So but here is my question. I have 2 SVG files for the beginning and I want the program to place them in a random position and random angle, BUT not just once. I want the program to repeat it a few times so that I can get a nice pattern. Is there a simple was to achieve this?

Thank you already guys :D

You can use this code, but then you can't call background() in draw().

PImage p;
int number = 5;
float x;
float y;
float a;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
  p = loadImage("image.png"); //.svg, in your case.
  strokeWeight(5);
  imageMode(CENTER);
  for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) {
    x = random(width);
    y = random(height);
    a = random(359);
    pushMatrix();
    translate(x, y);
    rotate(a);
    image(p, 0, 0, 150, 130);
    popMatrix();
  }
}

If you DO, however, need to call background() in draw(), then you'll have to use a different code, as that covers all images created in setup(). Otherwise, the code above is the simplest way.

I forgot to mention this in the last post. Change the number variable to change the amount of pictures shown.
