I'm trying to make this one https://massmoca.org/event/walldrawing340/
in Javascript code, using p5.js, but I have no clue how to fill these shapes with lines. Is there any other possibility, like making canvas that is circle or something like that, or I just have to make each shape seperately?
For now I was doing shape by shape, but making triangle and trapezoid is rough...
var sketch = function (p) {
with(p) {
let h,
w,
space;
p.setup = function() {
createCanvas(900, 400);
h = height / 2;
w = width / 3;
space = 10;
noLoop();
};
p.draw = function() {
drawBackground('red', 'blue', 0, 0);
shape('Circle', 'red', 'blue', 0, 0);
drawBackground('yellow', 'red', w, 0);
shape('Square', 'yellow', 'red', w, 0);
drawBackground('blue', 'yellow', 2 * w, 0);
shape('Triangle', 'blue', 'red', 2 * w, 0)
drawBackground('red', 'yellow', 0, h);
shape('Rectangle', 'red', 'blue', 0, h)
drawBackground('yellow', 'blue', w, h);
shape('Trapezoid', 'yellow', 'red', w, h);
drawBackground('blue', 'red', 2 * w, h);
};
function drawBackground(bColor, lColor, x, y) {
fill(bColor)
noStroke();

}

No messages, everything is working, I just want to know if I have to do so much arduous job...
If you don't need actual line coordinates (for plotting for example), I'd just make most out of createGraphics() to easily render shapes and lines into (taking advantage of the fact that get() returns a p5.Image) and p5.Image's mask() function.
Here's a basic example:
function setup() {
createCanvas(600, 300);
let w = 300;
let h = 150;
let spacing = 12;
let strokeWidth = 1;
const BLUE = color('#005398');
const YELLOW = color('#f9db44');
const RED = color('#dc1215');
bg = getLinesRect(w, h, RED, BLUE, spacing, strokeWidth, true);
fg = getLinesRect(w, h, RED, YELLOW, spacing, strokeWidth, false);
mask = getCircleMask(w, h, w * 0.5, h * 0.5, 100, 0);
image(bg, 0, 0);
image(fg, w, 0);
// render opaque mask (for visualisation only), mask() requires alpha channel
image(getCircleMask(w, h, w * 0.5, h * 0.5, 100, 255),0, h);
// apply mask
fg.mask(mask);
// render bg + masked fg
image(bg, w, h);
image(fg, w, h);
// text labels
noStroke();
fill(255);
text("bg layer", 9, 12);
text("fg layer", w + 9, 12);
text("mask", 9, h + 12);
text("bg + masked fg", w + 9, h + 12);
}
function getLinesRect(w, h, bg, fg, spacing, strokeWidth, isHorizontal){
let rect = createGraphics(w, h);
rect.background(bg);
rect.stroke(fg);
rect.strokeWeight(strokeWidth);
if(isHorizontal){
for(let y = 0 ; y < h; y += spacing){
rect.line(0, y + strokeWidth, w, y + strokeWidth);
}
}else{
for(let x = 0 ; x < w; x += spacing){
rect.line(x + strokeWidth, 0, x + strokeWidth, h);
}
}
// convert from p5.Graphics to p5.Image
return rect.get();
}
function getCircleMask(w, h, cx, cy, cs, opacity){
let mask = createGraphics(w, h);
// make background transparent (alpha is used for masking)
mask.background(0, opacity);
mask.noStroke();
mask.fill(255);
mask.circle(cx, cy, cs);
// convert p5.Graphics to p5.Image
return mask.get();
}

You can apply the same logic for the rest of the shapes:

Probably both rectangles and the triangle could've been drawn using getQuadMask() making good use of coordinates.
Note that I've just eye balled the shapes a bit so they're not going to be perfect, but it should be easy to tweak. Bare in mind the placement of the mask will have an effect of on how the vertical lines will align.
There are probably other ways to get the same visual effect.
For example, using texture() and textureWrap(REPEAT) with beginShape()/endShape(), using pixels for each line and checking intersections before changing direction and colours, etc.
In terms of generating lines for plotting I would start with horizontal lines, doing line to convex polygon intersection to determine where to stop the horizontal lines and start vertical lines. #AgniusVasiliauskas's answer(+1) is good for that approach.
Freya Holmér has a pretty nice visual explanation for the test.
You need linear algebra stuff, basically noticing how vertical line starting/ending Y coordinate changes in relation to line's X coordinate. And of course a lot of experimenting until you get something usable. Something like :
var w = 600
h = 600
sp = 15
var slides = [fcircle, fsquare, ftriangle, ftrapezoid, fparallelogram];
var active = 0;
var ms;
function blines(){
stroke(0);
for (var i=0; i < h; i+=sp) {
line(0,i,w,i);
}
}
function vertlines(calcline) {
for (var x=w/2-w/4+sp; x < w/2+w/4; x+=sp) {
var pnts = calcline(x);
line(pnts[0],pnts[1],pnts[2],pnts[3]);
}
}
function fcircle() {

// draw figure lines
let calc = function (x){

Slideshow DEMO
I have a way to do some of the shapes, but I am not sure about others. One way you could do it is if you know where every point on the outline of the shape is, you could just use a for loop and connect every other point from the top and bottom using the line or rect function. This would be relatively easy with shapes like squares and parallelograms, but I am not sure what functions could be used to get this for the points of a circle or trapezoid.

First off, sorry about the bad title, I couldn't think of a better way to describe what I was trying to do. I have an HTML canvas, which, for argument's sake, is x pixels wide and y pixels tall. I have been trying to write a code that takes the location in the array of the canvas' image data of two pixels that are on lines z and z + 1 and fill in all the pixels in the higher row between the two pixels a certain color. I'm afraid I may not have made much sense, so here's a diagram:
Sorry about the poor graphics, but assume each rectangle is a pixel. The program should take in the first value for each of the black pixels (each is stored as r,g,b,a, the program gets the location of the r in the array representing the canvas' image data), and stores the r value for the lower pixel as bottomPixel and the higher one as topPixel. In this case, bottomPixel = 124 and topPixel = 112 It should use this to fill all pixels between the two base pixels a certain color. For example, using the previous pixel locations, the red pixels in the following picture should be colored in, but the blue one should not.
Here is the code I have: (Assume that the canvas has an Id "Canvas" and is 6px wide by 10px tall)
var cnvs = document.getElementById("Canvas");
cnvs.height = 10; //This height and width is here as an example.
cnvs.width = 6;
var cont = cnvs.getContext("2d");
var environment = cont.getImageData(0,0,6,10);
var bottomPixel = 124;//Not neccesarily 124 or 112, just example values
var topPixel = 112;
if ( bottomPixel - topPixel > 6*4 ) //If bottomPixel is to the right of topPixel
{
for ( var i = 0 ; i < ((bottomPixel-6*4)-topPixel)/4 ; i++ )
{
var index = topPixel + i * 4;
environment.data[index] = 0;
environment.data[index + 1 ] = 255;
environment.data[index + 2 ] = 0;
environment.data[index + 3 ] = 255;
}
}
if ( bottomPixel - topPixel > 6*4 ) //If bottomPixel is to the left of topPixel
{
for ( var i = 0 ; i < (topPixel-(bottomPixel-6*4))/4; i++ )
{
var index = topPixel - i * 4;
environment.data[index] = 0;
environment.data[index + 1 ] = 255;
environment.data[index + 2 ] = 0;
environment.data[index + 3 ] = 255;
}
}
I'd like to know why my code isn't doing what I previously described. If anything here needs clarification, please leave a comment. Thanks!
This is a method that works on the point coordinates and uses a the setPixel function to modify imageData. I'm using blue for start and black for end. You'll need to adjust for your exact condition but you can use setPixel to allow for direct x and y edits on the imageData.

I've included an alternate line method and your line method. There is also an animation that will help you find errors.

I've made an arc in Raphael what I was aiming for was just one arc with out the
big right angle in it.
So just one smooth curved line without the right angle.
It's pretty basic and uses the Raphael elliptical arc.
You can see it at http://jsfiddle.net/mailrox/uuAjV/1/
Here's the code:
var raph = Raphael(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
var x = 150;
var y = 150;
var r = 100; //radius
var value = 100;
var maxValue = 360;
var pi = Math.PI;
var cos = Math.cos;
var sin = Math.sin;
var t = (pi/2) * 3; //translate
var rad = (pi*2 * (maxValue-value)) / maxValue + t;
var p = [
"M", x, y,
"l", r * cos(t), r * sin(t),
"A", r, r, 0, +(rad > pi + t), 1, x + r * cos(rad), y + r * sin(rad),
"z"
];
var param = {"stroke-width": 30}
var d = raph.path(p).attr(param);
One way I've done is I could mask the right-angle sections of the lines out however I'd rather not have this and just have once nice curve opposed to managing both that current path and a mask over the top.
Really appreciate some help with this thanks!
Try this. Just take the close path (the 'z') off your SVG path definition (note I didn't test this solution):
var raph = Raphael(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
var x = 150;
var y = 150;
var r = 100; //radius
var value = 100;
var maxValue = 360;
var pi = Math.PI;
var cos = Math.cos;
var sin = Math.sin;
var t = (pi/2) * 3; //translate
var rad = (pi*2 * (maxValue-value)) / maxValue + t;
var p = [
"M", x, y,
"l", r * cos(t), r * sin(t),
"A", r, r, 0, +(rad > pi + t), 1, x + r * cos(rad), y + r * sin(rad)
];
var param = {"stroke-width": 30}
var d = raph.path(p).attr(param);

You can extend the Raphael object to include an arc function.
The arc calculation has been modfied from Raphael's 'Polar clock' demo: http://raphaeljs.com/polar-clock.html
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/TmVHq/
Raphael.fn.arc = function(cx, cy, value, total, radius) {
var alpha = 360 / total * value,
a = (90 - alpha) * Math.PI / 180,
x = cx + radius * Math.cos(a),
y = cy - radius * Math.sin(a),
path;
if (total === value) {
path = [['M', cx, cy - radius], ['A', radius, radius, 0, 1, 1, (cx - 0.01), cy - radius]];
} else {
path = [['M', cx, cy - radius], ['A', radius, radius, 0, +(alpha > 180), 1, x, y]];
}
return this.path(path);
}
var Paper = new Raphael('canvas', 300, 300);
var arc = Paper.arc(150, 150, 270, 360, 100);
arc.attr('stroke-width', 15);
