The child() function is used to add the element as a child element to the parent element. This function accepts either a string ID, DOM node, or p5.Element. If this function does not contain any parameters then it returns an array of children DOM nodes.
Note: This function uses the p5.dom library. So add the following line in the head section of the index.html file.
<script language= "javascript" type= "text/javascript" src= "path/to/p5.dom.js" >
</script> |
Syntax:
child()
or
child( child )
Parameters: This function accepts single parameter child which holds the string or p5.Element. The ID, DOM node, or p5.Element is used to add as a current element.
Return Value: It returns an array of child nodes.
Below example illustrates the child() function in p5.js:
Example:
function setup() {
// Create Canvas of given size
var cvs = createCanvas(600, 250);
} function draw() {
// Set the background color
background( 'green' );
// Use createDiv() function to
// create a div element
var myDiv = createDiv( 'GeeksforGeeks' );
var myDiv1 = createDiv( 'A computer science portal for geeks' );
// Use child() function
myDiv.child(myDiv1);
// Set the position of div element
myDiv.position(150, 100);
myDiv.style( 'text-align' , 'center' );
// Set the font-size of text
myDiv.style( 'font-size' , '24px' );
// Set the font color
myDiv.style( 'color' , 'white' );
