Hi there :wave: I’m using processing to generate SVG files for pen plotting. I have a PShape object which is a custom geometry, I would like to use that geometry as a mask/intersection or a boolean check to then draw a some additional geometry within it as a fill. I’m not able to use textures or …

Your approach was correct, but you were thrown off by the way geometry operations work. Lines are 1D objects (they have no “height”) so intersecting a line with a polygon returns nothing. The solution is to buffer the lines into actual 2D polygons so intersection() becomes a meaningful operation. I…

Processing Geometry Suite provides 2D shape boolean operations like Geomerative but takes in (and outputs) PShapes.
