I'm making my way through JavaScript tutorials (using p5.js) and was interested in coding a responsive screen with four shapes that scale down and stick next to each other while doing so.
Is defining a separate variable for y enough, or would it be better to redefine all the shapes by a new set of x and y variables? Window height/width seems like it should be the correct code to use.
My code:
function setup() {
createCanvas(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
}
function draw() {
background(200);
noStroke();
var labelw = window.innerWidth/8;
var labelh = labelw/4;
var sectionw = window.innerWidth;
var sectionh = window.innerHeight;
// Red
if(window.innerWidth/2 < window.innerHeight){
fill(200, 50, 50);
rect(0, 0, sectionw/2, sectionw/4)
}
// Blue
if(window.innerWidth/2 < window.innerHeight){
fill(50, 50, 200);
rect(sectionw/2, 0, sectionw/2, sectionw/4)
}
// Green
if(window.innerWidth/2 < window.innerHeight){
fill(130, 230, 130);
rect(0, sectionh/2, sectionw/2, sectionw/4)
}
// Purple
if(window.innerWidth/2 < window.innerHeight){
fill(190, 100, 230);
rect(sectionw/2, sectionh/2, sectionw/2, sectionw/4)
}
// label1
fill(50)
rect(0, 0, labelw, labelh)
fill(255);
textSize(labelw/10);
text("Test Label\nTestIdeo, 19xx-20xx",0, 0, 200, 200);
}

Reset to default 5You need to do two things:
First, you need to detect when the screen is resized, and resize the canvas when that happens. The windowResized()
and resizeCanvas()
functions e in handy for that. See the reference for more info.
Second, you just need to use the width
and height
variables to draw your shapes. The width
and height
variables are automatically updated when you resize the canvas.
Putting it all together, it would look like this:
function setup() {
createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
}
function draw() {
fill(255, 0, 0);
rect(0, 0, width/2, height/2);
fill(0, 255, 0);
rect(width/2, 0, width/2, height/2);
fill(0, 0, 255);
rect(0, height/2, width/2, height/2);
fill(255, 255, 0);
rect(width/2, height/2, width/2, height/2);
}
function windowResized() {
resizeCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
}
