Class Name

PShader

Description

This class encapsulates a GLSL shader program, including a vertex and a fragment shader. It is compatible with P2D and P3D, but not with the default renderer. Use the loadShader() function to load your shader code. Note: It's strongly encouraged to use loadShader() to create a PShader object, rather than calling the PShader constructor manually.

Examples

PShader blur;

void setup() {
  size(640, 360, P2D);
  // Shaders files must be in the "data" folder to load correctly
  blur = loadShader("blur.glsl"); 
  stroke(0, 102, 153);
  rectMode(CENTER);
}

void draw() {
  filter(blur);  
  rect(mouseX-75, mouseY, 150, 150); 
  ellipse(mouseX+75, mouseY, 150, 150);
}

PImage tex;
PShader deform;

void setup() {
  size(640, 360, P2D);
  tex = loadImage("tex1.jpg");
  deform = loadShader("deform.glsl");
  deform.set("resolution", float(width), float(height));
}

void draw() {
  deform.set("time", millis() / 1000.0);
  deform.set("mouse", float(mouseX), float(mouseY));
  shader(deform);
  image(tex, 0, 0, width, height);
}

Constructors
