Py5Image.set_pixels()#

Changes the color of any pixel or writes an image directly into the Py5Image object.

Examples#

example picture for set_pixels()

def setup():
    mountains = py5.load_image("rockies.jpg")
    c = mountains.get_pixels(60, 90)
    for i in range(25, 75):
        for j in range(25, 75):
            mountains.set_pixels(i, j, c)
    py5.image(mountains, 0, 0)

Description#

Changes the color of any pixel or writes an image directly into the Py5Image object.

The x and y parameters specify the pixel to change and the color parameter specifies the color value. The color parameter c is affected by the current color mode (the default is RGB values from 0 to 255). When setting an image, the x and y parameters define the coordinates for the upper-left corner of the image, regardless of the current image_mode().

Setting the color of a single pixel with set_pixels(x, y) is easy, but not as fast as putting the data directly into Py5Image.pixels[]. The equivalent statement to set_pixels(x, y, 0) using Py5Image.pixels[] is pixels[y*py5.width+x] = 0. See the reference for Py5Image.pixels[] for more information.

Underlying Processing method: PImage.set

set_pixels(
    x: int,  # x-coordinate of the pixel
    y: int,  # y-coordinate of the pixel
    img: Py5Image,  # image to copy into the Py5Image object
