find a way to incorporate weird Processing built-ins into reference

Open aparrish opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

see https://github.com/jdf/Processing.py-Bugs/issues/100—there are many Processing built-in functions that just don't make sense in the context of Python. Right now, these functions are (by and large) missing from the reference—but I think the general consensus is that these functions should somehow remain in the reference as a way for people to understand what they are should they encounter them in Java Mode or in examples they're trying to translate. Not sure what form that would or should take.

I think a special "Python Mode for people who already know Processing" page might be in order, which has an introductory paragraph, and an index of functions that, while implemented, are better expressed as Python idioms.

yeah, that sounds about right. hmm.
