The width variable in p5.js is a system variable that stores the width of the drawing canvas. This value is automatically initialised by the first parameter of the createCanvas() function as soon as the code is executed.
Syntax:
width
Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter.
Below program illustrates the width variable in p5.js:
Example-1:
function setup() {
//create Canvas of size 380*80
createCanvas(380, 80);
} function draw() {
// set background color
background(220);
// set text size
textSize(16);
// set the text alignment
textAlign(CENTER);
//set the fill color
fill(color( 'Green' ));
//use of width variable
text( "Width of Canvas is : "
+ width, 180, 50);
} |
Output:
Example-2:
function setup() {
//create Canvas of size 380*80
width = windowWidth;
createCanvas(width, 80);
} function draw() {
// set background color
background(220);
// set text size
textSize(16);
// set the text alignment
textAlign(CENTER);
//set the fill color
fill(color( 'Green' ));
//use of width variable
text( "Width of Canvas is equal to windowWidth i.e. : "
+ width, 180, 50);
} |
