Project-09-Portrait

This project was very enjoyable. In my initial plans, I wanted to make the photo look like a pile of colorful sticks. I choose a photo with alot of colors and was just trying to figure out the best way to work in lines. I opted a program that allows the user to have a small level of control over the “dropping sticks.” As you can see below, the outcome is a bit of a blurred image.

var myImage;

function preload() {
    var introduceImage = "http://i.imgur.com/UZISIgI.jpg";
    myImage = loadImage(introduceImage);
}

function setup() {
    createCanvas(500,500);
    background(0);
    myImage.loadPixels();
    frameRate(100);
}

function draw(){
    var px = random(width);
    var py = random (height);
    // accesses the color of each pixel as it is randomly selected 
    var ix = constrain(floor(px),0,width-1);
    var iy = constrain(floor(py),0,height-1);
    var theColorAtLoationXY = myImage.get(ix,iy);
    
    stroke(theColorAtLoationXY);
    for (var i=0; i<20;i++){
        push();
        // creating rotating lines
        var xmapping = map(mouseX, 0,width,0,20);
        var ymapping = map(mouseY, 0,height, 0, 20);
        translate(ix,iy);
        rotate(i*radians(36))
        line(i,i,random(xmapping),random(ymapping))
        pop();

    }
