Hello,

Here is an example using the existing `circle()` shape:

```auto
PImage img1, img2;
PGraphics pg;

void setup()
  {
  size(300, 300);
  //img1 = loadImage("https://processing.org/img/processing-web.png");
  img1 = loadImage("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/processing/processing-website/main/content/examples/Basics/Image/LoadDisplayImage/data/moonwalk.jpg");
  
  img2 = createImage(100, 100, RGB);
  img2 = img1.get(360, 100, 100, 100);
  
  pg = createGraphics(100, 100);
  pg.beginDraw();
  //pg.background(0);
  pg.noStroke();
  pg.fill(0, 0, 255); // Look this up in the references
  pg.circle(50, 50, 100);
  pg.endDraw();
  
  // The "pg image" is masking the "img2 image"
  img2.mask(pg); //Look this up in the references 
  
  background(255, 128, 0, 255);
  image(img2, 100, 100);
  noLoop();
  }

```

Look up all the tutorials and references related to the example:

You will have to use `createShape()` to create a shape with your vertices to replace the `circle()` shape in the example with your shape.
