The rotate() function in p5.js is used to rotate a shape or the object using p5.js to a specified axis over a specified angle.
Syntax:
rotate(angle, [axis])
Parameters: The function accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- angle: The angle of rotation which specified in radians or degrees.
- axis: the axis to rotate around
Below program illustrates the rotate() function in p5.js:
Example-1:
function setup() {
createCanvas(380, 170);
}
function draw() {
background(220);
strokeWeight(12);
strokeJoin(ROUND);
rotate(PI / 10.0);
line(20, 30, 200, 30);
line(200, 30, 200, 100);
line(200, 100, 20, 30);
}
|
Output:

Example-2:
function setup() {
createCanvas(380, 170);
}
function draw() {
background(220);
strokeWeight(12);
rotate(PI / 7.0);
textSize(30);
text( "GeeksForGeeks" , 50, 50);
}
