Output:
Example 2:
function setup() { // Create canvas of given size createCanvas(500, 300); // Set the background of canvas background('green'); } function draw() { // Use noFill() function to not fill the color noFill(); // Set the stroke color stroke('white'); // Use curve() function to create curve curve(50, 50, 50, 200, 50, 10, 50, 250, 150, 50, 50, 50); // Set the stroke color stroke('blue'); // Use curve() function to create curve curve(50, 200, 450, 50, 250, 100, 350, 250, 250, 450, 450, 400); } |
