Method to 'fill' a non rectangular shape with a pattern

Hello @GoodJuJu,

Does anyone know of a way to identify a shape and use it as some kind of mask?

Filling a PShape

I’d like to be able to generate an arbitrary shape and fill it with a simple pattern. Drawing the shape is easy - something like this would do: void setup(){ size(650, 650, P3D); smooth(8); translate(200, 200); beginShape(); vertex(random(100),random(100)); vertex(random(100), random(100)); vertex(random(100), random(100)); vertex(random(100),random(100)); endShape(); } However, if I wanted to fill in that shape with small blue strokes of circles, I would have no …

I modified code above to have 2 PGraphics and did this:

pg2.mask(pg1);
