What follows is part of the linked documentation.. some details (image captions etc.) are skipped.. For the full documentation click the blue link.

 

 

Artistic Description:

A kaleidoscope brush with smooth color transitions based upon images.

 

Description of implementation and instructions.

Mouse clicks and drags on screen activate the brush. The kaleidoskopic effect is implemented by mirroring the dynamic coordinates (mouseX, mouseY), using as reference X axis, Y axis and the center of the camvas. The brushstroke consists of lines that are calculate using current mouse position (mouseX, mouseY) and previous mouse position (pmouseX, pmouseY).

 

Color of brush

The brush shades according to pixels in an image. Six (6) different images are loaded in the project. They are picked because of their dark/light interesting antithesis. The first one is used by default when the program starts running, while the background color is white.

6. Dikteon Cave or Zeus Cave, Lasithi, Crete [2012]

 

 

Brush Controls

There are 2 brush controls. The first one (up/down arrows) by altering the framerate of the sketch (frameRate()). Less framerate cause less curved brushstroke. The second one (left/right arrows) by altering the weight of stroke (strokeWeight()).

 

Picking an image

By pressing numberes 1-6 the respective image is displayed on screen and the respective color of stroke is on. You can draw on this particular image, or you can clear background and keep the picked color transitions of the brush.

 

Background

By pressing BACKSPACE or DELETE, you can clear canvas. Default background color is white. You can turn it into black by pressing 'b' (or 'B'). You can change it back to white by pressing 'w' (or 'W').

 

Export snapshot

By pressing 's' or 'S' you save current frame as a png image.
