pop()
The pop() function in p5.js is used to restore the previous transformation state of the canvas. This means it undoes the last push() call, allowing you to revert changes such as translations, rotations, or scalings. Creative coders use pop() to manage complex drawings where multiple transformations might be applied, allowing for a structured way to layer visual elements without losing control of the canvas state.
Try It with AI
The best way to learn pop() is to experiment with it using the AI assistant in p5js.ai.
Example prompts to try:
- "Explain what pop() does in p5.js"
- "Create a simple example using pop()"
- "Show me creative ways to use pop()"
