Disable Style

/**
 * Disable Style 
 * by George Brower.
 * 
 * Shapes are loaded with style information that tells them how
 * to draw (e.g. color, stroke weight). The disableStyle() 
 * method of PShape turns off this information so functions like
 * stroke() and fill() change the SVGs color. The enableStyle()
 * method turns the file's original styles back on.
