updatePixels()
The updatePixels() function is essential for directly manipulating pixel data in a p5.js sketch. It allows you to apply changes made to the pixel array through loadPixels() and subsequently render those changes on the canvas. This is particularly valuable for creating intricate visual effects, like simulating wave functions or exploring fractals, where pixel-level control is necessary to achieve desired outcomes.
Try It with AI
The best way to learn updatePixels() is to experiment with it using the AI assistant in p5js.ai.
Example prompts to try:
- "Explain what updatePixels() does in p5.js"
- "Create a simple example using updatePixels()"
- "Show me creative ways to use updatePixels()"
