[Question] Fill pixel by pixel

[joex92]

Hi,
I'm working on a project where, part of it, I fill the canvas pixel by pixel with a Simplex Noise algorithm (I did it that way on p5).

I was thinking about doing it with a Two.Group with Two.Rectangles, but when doing it, the page freezes and fps drops. I suppose it's because the quantity of rectangle objects. Then I thought about using a Two.Points, but those doesn't let me change the color for each vertices, which would be good the be able to as I explained here: #553.

Looking up through Two. on console, I see that there is a Two.Gradient, would that be what I need? but how do I use it? There are only docs for Two.RadialGradient and Two.LinearGradient...

Is there another way to "paint" a shape/canvas with a better performance? or is there another alternative?

I want to do something like this but with color gradients and not characters...

I was looking up for ways, and found that using a canvas type renderer I can create an ImageData object and set each pixel's value... that could work, but how do I add it to the Two canvas? I see there is a .makeImageSequence but It only accepts image files, I guess...
Also this could work only on a canvas renderer, how do I use it on a SVG renderer?

Sorry for the delay, if you'd like to "paint" like p5.js you can do this in the canvas and webgl renderers using the overdraw property when constructing Two.js like so:

var two = new Two({
  type: Two.Types.canvas,
  overdraw: true
}).appendTo(document.body);

This gives you the control to manually clear the canvas when you need or want to. So, you can make a Two.Points with one vertex and move it around. Here's an example of that: https://jsfiddle.net/jonobr1/w9ma4t5b/

Interesting.. thanks, didn't know that... I´ll test this approach in my code...
