Hello ! I’m new to processing and I need your help 🙂

I need to select pixel’s area from my original image and to transpose it in rectangles.  
I learned that -get()( could help me but I do not know where to place it in my code :

PImage photo;  
int posX = int(random(0,1920));  
int posY = int(random(0,1080));  
int sizeH = int(random(0,400));  
int sizeL = int(random(0,400));

void setup() {  
size(1000,600);  
photo = loadImage(“Photo.jpg”);

}  
void draw(){  
background(0,0,0);  
image(photo,0,0,1920,1080);

}

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Nice to have you here!

Yeah, you can select an area and copy it to a new image

`PImage pi = get(30,30,100,100);`

then you can make a nested for-loop over pi and use `col1=get(x,y);` to get the color of one color pixel

Then you can use `fill(col1); rect(....);` to enlarge pi. Just multiply x,y to get a grid of bigger rectangles.

Warm regards,

Chrisir

of course

`PImage pi = get(30,30,random(40,200),random(40,200));`

see [get() / Reference / Processing.org](https://www.processing.org/reference/get_.html)
