Record vector geometry from a Processing sketch to a resolution-independent PDF using built-in PDF recording, with checks and recovery steps.
A practical guide to picking JAVA2D, P2D, or P3D in Processing 4.x, featuring a performance benchmark, feature comparison, and a selection checklist.
Select P2D, P3D, or JAVA2D in Processing 4 based on GPU availability, 2D performance, and headless deployment needs.
Learn how to use a PGraphics offscreen buffer as a live texture for 3D shapes in Processing, with code, performance tips, and verification steps.
Move unchanging geometry, grids, and text into a PGraphics offscreen buffer during setup, then composite it with a single image() call each frame. This guide covers buffer creation, renderer matching, resize handling, memory limits, and verification steps.
PGraphics lets you cache static drawing layers in an off-screen buffer, then composite them each frame with a single image() call. This guide shows a complete worked example, explains memory limits, and lists the common mistakes that cause crashes or visual artifacts.
Stop tracking X and Y manually. Learn how to use PVector in Processing to create smooth, physics-based steering behaviors using normalization and magnitude limiting.
Reduce CPU overhead in Processing by caching static geometry in PGraphics offscreen buffers. Learn how to implement invalidation flags and choose the right renderer for stable frame rates.
Use PGraphics offscreen buffers to draw static content once and reuse it each frame, cutting per-frame drawing cost in Processing sketches.
