dist()

Calculates the distance between two points.

Examples

# Sets the background gray value based on the distance 
# of the mouse from the center of the screen
def draw():
  py5.no_stroke()
  d = py5.dist(py5.width/2, py5.height/2, py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_y)
  max_dist = py5.dist(0, 0, py5.width/2, py5.height/2)
  gray = py5.remap(d, 0, max_dist, 0, 255)
  py5.fill(gray)
  py5.rect(0, 0, py5.width, py5.height)

Description
