Track Processing API coverage in libprocessing/mewnala

This issue tracks progress toward implementing the Processing API in libprocessing/mewnala.

The goal is to reach broad compatibility with the existing Processing API so that sketches can be ported with minimal friction.

Guidelines

Keywords below are listed using the original Java syntax. Some differences are expected due to the specifics of Python.

Breaking changes should be intentional, and their motivation should be documented in the corresponding issues or PRs.

Definition of done

Mark items as done only once they:

• match the original Processing behavior (see the linked reference page)
• have been validated with example sketches (e.g. in Processing examples, Nature of Code, or the examples directory)
• are included in the latest mewnala release (https://pypi.org/project/mewnala/)

Progress Tracker

[!IMPORTANT]
The list is based on the official Processing reference. This is NOT an exhaustive list of every class, method, or keyword in Processing. Parts of the API are undocumented or listed in individual class pages, see the Methods section of PVector or PImage for example. For a more complete API overview, see the Processing 4 Javadoc.

Inizia dalle voci non selezionate nel Progress Tracker e confronta le pagine di riferimento o gli Javadocs pertinenti di Processing con l’implementazione attuale di libprocessing/mewnala. Un elemento completato deve corrispondere al comportamento di Processing, essere validato con uno sketch di esempio ed essere incluso nell’ultima release di mewnala.
