This module is one in a collection of modules designed to teach you about the Processing open source programming environment.
Processing is a Java-based OOP programming environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions.
The purpose of this module is to teach you:

I recommend that you open another copy of this module in a separate browser window and use the following links to easily find and view the imagesand listings while you are reading about them.
The pixel modification algorithm that I will implement in this module can be described as follows:
Scale the blue and green color components of each pixel by a scale factor that is less than or equal to 1.0.
The green scale factor:
The blue scale factor
The value of the red color component is not modified.
Depending on whether or not pixel modification is enabled before compiling the program, the sketch will produce one of the two images shown in Image 1 and Image 2 .
The raw image is shown in Image 1 .
The modified image is shown in Image 2 .
This sketch consists of two classes:
The code in Listing 7 is the code that needs to be in the leftmost tab of the PDE.
I will break this code down and explain it in fragments. As I go along, I will be explaining how this code forms a template for the development of otherpixel modification algorithms in future modules.
The driver class that appears in the leftmost tab in the PDE hasn't changed significantly since I first explained it in Pr0120-Image Explorer . Therefore, I won't repeat that explanation here.
