Enumeration: ShapeAssemblyMode ​

Shape assembly modes for Textmodifier.beginShape.

Enumeration Members ​

LINE_LOOP ​

ts
LINE_LOOP: 3;

Draw consecutive vertices as one connected closed loop.

Use this for orbit rings, cells, seals, and procedural outlines where the last vertex should connect back to the first.

Example ​

LINE_STRIP ​

ts
LINE_STRIP: 2;

Draw consecutive vertices as one connected open path.

Use this for trails, contours, oscillators, and continuous generative paths that should not automatically close.

Example ​

LINES ​

ts
LINES: 1;

Draw each pair of recorded vertices as an independent line segment.

Use this for disconnected strokes, hatching, radial spokes, and other geometry where every two vertices form a separate edge.

Example ​

POINTS ​

ts
POINTS: 0;

Draw each recorded vertex as a separate point.

Use this for particle fields, sampled paths, and other custom shapes where every vertex is an independent mark.

Example ​

QUAD_STRIP ​

ts
QUAD_STRIP: 8;

Draw paired vertices as a connected strip of quads.

Use this for woven bands, thick paths, and flexible ribbons where each pair of vertices extends the next four-sided segment.

Example ​

QUADS ​

ts
QUADS: 7;

Draw each group of four vertices as a quad split into two triangles.

Use this for tiled panels, procedural cells, and blocky surfaces where every four vertices define a separate four-sided patch.

Example ​

TRIANGLE_FAN ​

ts
TRIANGLE_FAN: 6;

Draw triangles that all share the first recorded vertex.

Use this for fans, wedges, circular bursts, and filled radial forms expanding from a shared center.

Example ​

TRIANGLE_STRIP ​

ts
TRIANGLE_STRIP: 5;

Draw overlapping triplets of vertices as a connected triangle strip.

Use this for ribbons, folded bands, and efficient connected surfaces built from a single alternating vertex sequence.

Example ​

TRIANGLES ​

ts
TRIANGLES: 4;

Draw each group of three vertices as an independent triangle.

Use this for faceted fields, low-poly shards, and filled geometry where each triangle controls its own three corners.
