# This program illustrates how to change the default color (and thus set the color of primatives).
# Default color when Quickdraw starts is white.

# Reminder: to run this program you need Quickdraw to be in the same directory or folder
# as this program. Also double check if the suffix for Quickdraw ends with ".zip" or ".jar".

import subprocess
quickdraw = subprocess.Popen(['java', '-jar', './quickdraw.zip'], stdin = subprocess.PIPE)

# Draw a filled circle: default color is white
quickdraw.stdin.write("fillcircle 0 0 100")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Change default color (remember the order is red level, green level, blue level) to blue
quickdraw.stdin.write("color 0 0 255")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Draw a filled circle: default color is now a strong blue
quickdraw.stdin.write("fillcircle 100 100 50")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Change default color (remember the order is red level, green level, blue level) to green
quickdraw.stdin.write("color 0 255 0")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Draw a filled circle: default color is now a strong green
quickdraw.stdin.write("fillcircle 200 200 10")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Change default color (remember the order is red level, green level, blue level) to red
quickdraw.stdin.write("color 255 0 0")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")

# Draw a filled circle: default color is now a strong red
quickdraw.stdin.write("fillcircle 200 200 5")
quickdraw.stdin.write("\n")
