Layering stroke() and fill() correctly

Casey_Scalf

I have been using contour maps and was having trouble correctly layering different calls of stroke() and fill().

For instance, I draw a bunch of strokes that surround an island and then I want to fill in the contour with a green land. However, this fill() is always drawn underneath the other strokes, to my dismay, and I have not figured out how to make sure that stays on top even though it comes after the stroke.

Is there any way to achieve this?

void setup()  {
  size(640, 480, P3D);
  background(100);
}

void draw()  {
  background(100);

  fill(0, 200, 0);
  stroke(0);
  strokeWeight(3);
  rect(width/2, height/2, 50, 50);
  noFill();
  noStroke();

  fill(200, 0, 0);
  stroke(255);
  strokeWeight(3);
  rect(mouseX, mouseY, 100, 70);
  noFill();
  noStroke();

}

Making this a P2D sketch eliminates the problem. But I need a P3D setup because I use Syphon in the final application. I am wondering how to possibly use a z-posiiton for the points...

So using a translate in combination with a push/pop matrix call I was able to sort the shapes and not get anything to shine through.

void setup()  {
  size(640, 480, P3D);
  smooth();
  background(100);
}

void draw()  {
  background(100);

  fill(0, 200, 0);
  stroke(0);
  strokeWeight(3);
  rect(width/2, height/2, 50, 50);
  noFill();
  noStroke();

  pushMatrix();
  translate(0, 0, 1);

  fill(255);
  stroke(255);
  strokeWeight(3);
  rect(mouseX, mouseY, 100, 70);
  noFill();
  noStroke();

  popMatrix();

}
