Name | ### pushStyle()
Examples |
    ellipse(0, 50, 33, 33);  // Left circle

    pushStyle();  // Start a new style
    strokeWeight(10);
    fill(204, 153, 0);
    ellipse(50, 50, 33, 33);  // Middle circle
    popStyle();  // Restore original style

    ellipse(100, 50, 33, 33);  // Right circle
    ellipse(0, 50, 33, 33);  // Left circle

    pushStyle();  // Start a new style
    strokeWeight(10);
    fill(204, 153, 0);
    ellipse(33, 50, 33, 33);  // Left-middle circle

    pushStyle();  // Start another new style
    stroke(0, 102, 153);
    ellipse(66, 50, 33, 33);  // Right-middle circle

    ellipse(100, 50, 33, 33);  // Right circle
Description | The pushStyle() function saves the current style settings and popStyle() restores the prior settings. Note that these functions are always used together. They allow you to change the style settings and later return to what you had. When a new style is started with pushStyle(), it builds on the current style information. The pushStyle() and popStyle() functions can be embedded to provide more control. (See the second example above for a demonstration.) The style information controlled by the following functions are included in the style: fill(), stroke(), tint(), strokeWeight(), strokeCap(), strokeJoin(), imageMode(), rectMode(), ellipseMode(), shapeMode(), colorMode(), textAlign(), textFont(), textMode(), textSize(), textLeading(), emissive(), specular(), shininess(), ambient()
