  use language('nl') to switch between languages, as DrawBot is typesetting environment... font('/Users/frederik/Downloads/source-code-pro-2.030R-ro-1.050R-it/OTF/SourceCodePro-Regular.otf') char = "б" fontSize(200) text(char, (10, 100)) language("sr") text(char, (150, 100))

  @gferreira said in Drawbot for other Operating Systems? Linux? Windows?: hello @dywen, DrawBot is macOS-only because it’s written on top of the macOS graphics layer. there have been some attempts at creating drawbots for other platforms using Cairo as the graphics layer (for example ShoeBot and Cairo DrawBot). not really sure how well these work. you might have more luck with Even, Processing, or Paper.js. hope this helps! Ok, thanks! Processing is already being taught at the school. I'll look into the other projects - already knowing one of the developers of Shoebot. I asked the question after reading about this nice tutorial sequence, based on Drawbot: http://pythonfordesigners.com/ Enjoy! (I won't ditch my Linux ;-))

  User interaction is on the to-think-about list for a while, no results or solutions so far...

  You can pass an ImageObject to imagePixelColor(): im = ImageObject() with im: fill(1, 0, 0) rect(100, 100, 200, 200) print(imagePixelColor(im, (150, 140)))

  @frederik and @justvanrossum thanks for the thoughtful replies and helpful tips! Command-E and Command-G will be very useful. And yeah, I found that early on that DrawBot does reload pretty nicely, so probably I just need to make better use of that.

  But just to be clear: we're not going to bundle py3 modules with the py2 DB build.

  mm I see!!! the problem is that it works on the drawBot documentation because the .py file really exists on the server. Ive written a special sphinx tag to be able to provide the download. I dont know who to create a downloadable file for nodebb (the forum framework) and provide a url for it... It needs to be a downloadable .py file so drawBot.app can read the script and create a new document with the given text.

  a link would be easy, issue created https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/issues/170 A direct opload would be more difficult. typemytype created this issue in typemytype/drawbot closed link to forum #170
