no_smooth()

Draws all geometry and fonts with jagged (aliased) edges and images with hard edges between the pixels when enlarged rather than interpolating pixels.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.size(100, 100, py5.P2D)
    py5.no_smooth()
    py5.no_stroke()


def draw():
    py5.background(0)
    py5.ellipse(30, 48, 36, 36)
    py5.ellipse(70, 48, 36, 36)

Description

Draws all geometry and fonts with jagged (aliased) edges and images with hard edges between the pixels when enlarged rather than interpolating pixels. Note that smooth() is active by default, so it is necessary to call no_smooth() to disable smoothing of geometry, fonts, and images.

The no_smooth() function can only be called once within a Sketch. It is intended to be called from the settings() function. The smooth() function follows the same rules.

When programming in module mode and imported mode, py5 will allow calls to no_smooth() from the setup() function if it is called at the beginning of setup(). This allows the user to omit the settings() function, much like what can be done while programming in the Processing IDE. Py5 does this by inspecting the setup() function and attempting to split it into synthetic settings() and setup() functions if both were not created by the user and the real setup() function contains a call to no_smooth(), or calls to size(), full_screen(), smooth(), or pixel_density(). Calls to those functions must be at the very beginning of setup(), before any other Python code (but comments are ok). This feature is not available when programming in class mode.
