points()

points()#

Draw a collection of points, each a coordinate in space at the dimension of one pixel.

Examples#

example picture for points()

import numpy as np

def setup():
    random_points = 100 * np.random.rand(500, 2)
    py5.points(random_points)

Description#

Draw a collection of points, each a coordinate in space at the dimension of one pixel. The purpose of this method is to provide an alternative to repeatedly calling point() in a loop. For a large number of points, the performance of points() will be much faster.

The coordinates parameter should be a numpy array with one row for each point. There should be two or three columns for 2D or 3D points, respectively.

Signatures#

points(
    coordinates: Sequence[Sequence[float]],  # 2D array of point coordinates with 2 or 3 columns for 2D or 3D points, respectively
    /,
) -> None
