copy()#
Copies a region of pixels from the display window to another area of the display window and copies a region of pixels from an image used as the src_img
parameter into the display window.
Examples#
def setup():
img = py5.load_image("eames.jpg")
py5.image(img, 0, 0, py5.width, py5.height)
py5.copy(7, 22, 10, 10, 35, 25, 50, 50)
py5.stroke(255)
py5.no_fill()
# rectangle shows area being copied
py5.rect(7, 22, 10, 10)
Description#
Copies a region of pixels from the display window to another area of the display window and copies a region of pixels from an image used as the src_img
parameter into the display window. If the source and destination regions aren’t the same size, it will automatically resize the source pixels to fit the specified target region. No alpha information is used in the process, however if the source image has an alpha channel set, it will be copied as well.
This function ignores image_mode().
If you want to create a new image with the contents of a rectangular region of the sketch, check out get_pixels() where x, y, w, h, are the position and dimensions of the area to be copied. It will return a Py5Image
object.
