I would have posted on git, but it currently has issues pushing a commit.

all the points are stored in img.cell.contours as cells, a class with an x and y position and a color. Although they are all unsorted.

in setup

void setup(){
  //String imPath = dataPath("images")+"\\";
  String imAndroidPath = dataPath("images").replace("/data/","")+"/";
  String shaderPath = dataPath("shaders").replace("/data/","")+"/";
  loc = imAndroidPath+"car.jpg";
  //img = new Img(loc);
//class constructor for the text requires; string,width of image,height of image,position x of text, position y of text, height of text
  img = new Img("The cat sat on the wall!",1000,100,30,70,20);
  button = new Button(width - 100,10,90,20,"Reset");
};

there is another constructor which allows you to change text color and background color but the contour color is always black currently.

There is a lot you can ignore in the code.

But main thing is you now have the points, all the points for the contours.

Also note I have not added font support though it likely isnt too hard.
