Name

isVisible()

Class

PShape

Description

Returns a boolean value true if the image is set to be visible, false if not. This value can be modified with the setVisible() method.

The default visibility of a shape is usually controlled by whatever program created the SVG file. For instance, this parameter is controlled by showing or hiding the shape in the layers palette in Adobe Illustrator.

Examples

```
PShape s;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
  // The file "bot.svg" must be in the data folder
  // of the current sketch to load successfully 
  s = loadShape("bot.svg");
}
void draw() {
  background(204);
  shape(s, 40, 40, 320, 320);  // Draw shape
 

s.setVisible(mousePressed);
 if (s.isVisible() == false) {  // Or use: "if (!s.isVisible)"
    noFill();
    rect(40, 40, 320, 320); 
 } 
}
```
