save_bytes()

Save byte data to a file.

Examples

mouse_x_history = list()
mouse_y_history = list()

def setup():
    # for this Sketch, the height and width must be less than 256
    py5.size(250, 250)
    py5.stroke_weight(10)


def draw():
    mouse_x_history.append(py5.mouse_x)
    mouse_y_history.append(py5.mouse_y)
    py5.point(py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_y)
    if py5.frame_count == 600:
        py5.save_bytes(bytearray(mouse_x_history), 'data/mouse_x_positions.dat')
        py5.save_bytes(bytearray(mouse_y_history), 'data/mouse_y_positions.dat')
        py5.exit_sketch()

Description

Save byte data to a file. If filename is not an absolute path, it will be saved relative to the current working directory (sketch_path()). The saved file can be reloaded with load_bytes().

Signatures

save_bytes(
    bytes_data: Union[bytes, bytearray],  # byte data to save in a file
    filename: Union[str, Path],  # filename to save byte data to
) -> None
