  ellipse(v3.x, v3.y, 24, 24);
}
Description

Subtracts x, y, and z components from a vector, subtracts one vector from another, or subtracts two independent vectors. The version of the method that substracts two vectors is a static method and returns a PVector, the others have no return value -- they act directly on the vector. See the examples for more context.

Syntax
vec.sub(x,y,z)

vec.sub(v)

PVector.sub(v1,v2)

Parameters
vec any variable of type PVector
x float: the x component of the vector
y float: the y component of the vector
z float: the z component of the vector
v PVector: the x, y, and z components from a PVector object
v1 PVector: the x, y, and z components from a PVector object
v2 PVector: the x, y, and z components from a PVector object
Returns None or PVector
