p5.scribble.js

Draw 2D primitives in a sketchy look in http://p5js.org/.

Example image

With p5.scribble.js you can draw

  • lines
  • curves
  • rects
  • rects with rounded corners
  • ellipses
  • hachures

in a sketchy look

Credits

This is a port of the handy library for processing to p5.js, so much of the source code is taken from the handy library for processing, written by Jo Wood, giCentre, City University London based on an idea by Nikolaus Gradwohl. https://github.com/gicentre/handy

Examples

In the examples directory you can find examples to see p5.scribble.js in action:

  • chart (bar graph) example Example image 2

I will add more examples in the future. If you create some nice stuff with p5.scribble,js, which could fit in the example directory, let me know or send a PR.

How to use

Include the file

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/p5.scribble.js"></script>

Create an instance

var scribble = new Scribble();

Lines

scribble.scribbleLine( x1, y1, x2, y2 );

Draws a line from (x1/y1) to (x2/y2).

Curves

scribble.scribbleCurve( x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4 );

Draws a bezier curve from (x1/y1) to (x2/y2). (x3/y3) and (x4/y4) are the coordinates, the curve is pulled to.

Rects

scribble.scribbleRect( x, y, w, h );

Draws a rect centered at (x/y). w and h defines width and height.

scribble.scribbleRoundedRect( x, y, w, h, radius );

Draws a rect like scribbleRect but with rounded corners.

Ellipses

scribble.scribbleEllipse( x, y, w, h );

Draws an allipse centered at (x/y). w and h defines width and height.

Hachures

scribble.scribbleFilling( xCoords, yCoords, gap, angle );

Draws a hachure in the polygon defined by the coordinates from the arrays xCoords and yCoords. The gap defines the space between two hachure lines. The angle defines the orientation of the lines.

General appearance

To change the look you can edit the following attributes

scribble.bowing = yourValue;          // changes the bowing of lines
scribble.roughness = yourValue;       // changes the roughness of lines
scribble.maxOffset = yourValue;       // coordinates will get an offset, here you define the max offset
scribble.numEllipseSteps = yourValue; // defines how much curves will be used to draw an ellipse

This lib works much on ramdom so if you want that your drawings look the same every render step, you should set a seed.

ramdomSeed( yourSeed );

Color and Weight

Colors and weights are defined like normal in p5.js.

stroke( 255, 0, 0 );

From now on your (sketchy) drawings are red.

strokeWeight( 10 );

From now on your (sketchy) drawings are 10 px heavy.
