Translate.
Translate.
The translate() function allows objects to be moved to any location within the window. The first parameter sets the x-axis offset and the second parameter sets the y-axis offset.
float x, y; float dim = 80.0; void setup() { size(640, 360); noStroke(); } void draw() { background(102); x = x + 0.8; if (x > width + dim) { x = -dim; } translate(x, height/2-dim/2); fill(255); rect(-dim/2, -dim/2, dim, dim); // Transforms accumulate. Notice how this rect moves // twice as fast as the other, but it has the same // parameter for the x-axis value translate(x, dim); fill(0); rect(-dim/2, -dim/2, dim, dim); }
