Primitive Graphics

Homework

Using a sheet of graph paper, sketch a picture of a house. Your picture should look something like this, though you can add extra elements if you wish (the canvas is 800x600 pixels wide):
Identify the shapes that make up your drawing and the coordinates of the endpoints and/or dimensions of the shapes and mark them on your drawing. You should do this without trying your code out in Processing. This sketch is due at the beginning of next class.
Start writing your code as a Processing sketch. Enter the coordinates of the shapes as identified on your paper and see how they look. Make any necessary corrections if you can. If you get stuck, come to class with questions. We'll finish the lab together during our next class.
