  While I'm working on an animation I run the script once to save the .gif file to the disk, then I select the file and hit the space bar to open it in Quick Look to preview the animation. I leave this preview window open in the Finder while I continue to work on editing the script in DrawBot — every time the file gets updated with a newly saved .gif it will automatically start previewing the new version. Kind of a strange technique but it works!

  @gferreira Hello gferreira, Thank you so much the reply has been very helpful. I can see that I was thinking too much about modifying all areas of the code instead of changing a small component. Enjoy the day. Best. Robert

  oh, there is indeed no progress callback on saveImage(..) Doing some googling on 'progress' and 'ffmpeg' does not results in a clear solution. DrawBot has a small wrapper around ffmpeg to generate movies: see https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/blob/master/drawBot/context/tools/mp4Tools.py

  @pixelman you can add a counter to the inner loop using enumerate: for n, words in enumerate([words1, words2, words3], start=1): if i < len(words): resultWords.append('-'+ str(n) +'-'+ words[i])

  DrawBot could be installed as module, so the import could be available. check: import AppKit appName = AppKit.NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary().get("CFBundleDisplayName") print(appName) appName will be DrawBot, RoboFont or None (in terminal) good luck!

  @frederik Thanks. Will have a look which type gives the best result. To use the actual font sounds like a good choice though. In Processing (where I made this animation first) I used SVG, but mainly because it's almost impossible to work with type in Processing. Curious which one is faster also.

  @snaders in DrawBot you don’t really resize an image, you change the scale at which it is drawn. (same logic as in Draw a letter within a viewbox) imgPath = 'https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oHg5SJYRHA0/hqdefault.jpg' # get image width & height imgWidth, imgHeight = imageSize(imgPath) # define box width & height boxWidth, boxHeight = 640, 640 # calculate scaling factors factorHeight = boxHeight / imgHeight factorWidth = boxWidth / imgWidth # draw scaled image with savedState(): scale(factorWidth, factorHeight) image(imgPath, (0, 0)) # draw box fill(None) stroke(1, 0, 0) strokeWidth(5) rect(0, 0, boxWidth, boxHeight)
