Py5Graphics.green()

Extracts the green value from a color, scaled to match current Py5Graphics.color_mode().

Description

Extracts the green value from a color, scaled to match current Py5Graphics.color_mode().

The green() function is easy to use and understand, but it is slower than a technique called bit shifting. When working in color_mode(RGB, 255), you can achieve the same results as green() but with greater speed by using the right shift operator (>>) with a bit mask. For example, green(c) and c >> 8 & 0xFF both extract the green value from a color variable c but the later is faster.

This method is the same as green() but linked to a Py5Graphics object. To see example code for how it can be used, see green().

Underlying Processing method: PGraphics.green
