  GImage

Use the GImage object to draw images in 3D space that always face the camera. Use cam.addImage( PImage ) to add an image to the drawing queue, and call cam.renderAll() to draw all images.

There are several ways to declare a new GImage:

GImage face = new GImage( cam );
GImage face = new GImage( cam, faceImage );
GImage face = new GImage( cam, faceImage, position );
GImage face = new GImage( cam, faceImage, position, diameter );

You can also alter the GImage using:

setPosition( newX, newY, newZ );
setDiameter( newDiameter );
setImage( newImage );

Draw the images using:

cam.renderAll();

Example:   brother
