The accelerationZ system variable is responsible for the acceleration of the device(tablets or mobile phones) along the Z-axis. It can be used in the draw() function to accelerate the device in the Z-axis of the coordinate.

Its value is represented as meters per second squared.

Syntax:

accelerationZ

Example 1:

Javascript




// Move a touchscreen device to register
// acceleration changes.
function draw() {
  background(220);
  fill('blue');
    
  //Set the variable.
  square(width, height, accelerationZ);
}


Output:

Example 2:

Javascript




// Move a touchscreen device to register
// Acceleration changes.
function setup()
{
  createCanvas(400,400)
}
  
function draw() {
  background(0, 50);
    
  fill('green');
  textAlign(CENTER,CENTER);
  textSize(50);
    
  // Convert the acceleration into integer when
  // device is moved along x axis.
  text(int(accelerationZ),windowWidth/2,windowHeight/2);
}


Output:
