Examples of fading:
There may be others…
Slimmed down (to just a line) version of fading I use:
int i;
int alpha;
public void setup()
{
size(512, 200);
background(0);
}
public void draw()
{
background(0);
i = 300;
for(int j = 0; j<i; j++)
{
alpha = 0;
if (j > i - 255)
alpha = 255 - (i - j); // tail fades away
stroke(0, 255, 0, alpha);
strokeWeight(10);
point(j, height/2);
}
}
I used the above for my scrolling ECG plot:
