Hello,

There are resources (tutorials, references and examples) here:  
_[https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)_

Mode for shapes:  
[https://processing.org/reference/shapeMode\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/shapeMode_.html)

Mode for images:  
[https://processing.org/reference/imageMode\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/imageMode_.html)

Vertices will require some ingenuity.

It may be worth looking at the excellent [nub library](https://github.com/VisualComputing/nub) by [Jean Pierre Charalambos](https://visualcomputing.github.io/) aka nakednous.
