  The hint with __file__ was just what I needed and got me on the right track. Using os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'resource', 'font.otf') within the main.py now gives me the ability to pull content from the resource directory. Perfect! Thank you so much @frederik, as always

  cool way to make a rounded rect! there are already a roundedRect example in the repository: see https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/blob/master/examples/roundedRect.py I would encourage you to make a python package out of your helper tools that you import when you needed it... # a separate file with the name "roundedRect.py" def roundedRect(...): # draw your stuff here # an other file in the same directory # name of the file/module name of the function from roundedRect import roundedRect # call it roundedRect(...) hope this makes sense!

  he Szymon! a bezierPath object is not made to be editable. One way could be jumpt to a glyph object. or do a detour by cutting the path in four quarters and draw them seperatly # create a bezierPath path = BezierPath() # add text to the path with a font and fontSize path.text("P", font="Helvetica-Bold", fontSize=778) # move the page a bit translate(100, 100) # get the bounds of the path minx, miny, maxx, maxy = path.bounds() # calculate the width, height of the bounds # we only need half the width, height w = (maxx-minx) * .5 h = (maxy-miny) * .5 # create a bezierPath and add a quarter bottomLeft = BezierPath() bottomLeft.rect(minx, miny, w, h) # create a bezierPath and add a quarter bottomRight = BezierPath() bottomRight.rect(minx + w, miny, w, h) # create a bezierPath and add a quarter topLeft = BezierPath() topLeft.rect(minx, miny + h, w, h) # create a bezierPath and add a quarter topRight = BezierPath() topRight.rect(minx + w, miny + h, w, h) # only keep the path when both of the them are filled bottomLeft = bottomLeft & path bottomRight = bottomRight & path topLeft = topLeft & path topRight = topRight & path # start drawing with savedState(): translate(w, h) skew(-30, 0) translate(-w, -h) fill(1, 0, 0) drawPath(bottomLeft) fill(1, 1, 0) drawPath(bottomRight) fill(0, 1, 0) drawPath(topLeft) fill(0, 1, 1) drawPath(topRight)

  Very useful for text proofing (color consistency). And also to make games with ornaments and patterns. Thank you very much!

  i would leave the center or starting point at (0, 0) and shift the origin with translate(canvas/2, canvas/2). If cell at (n, n) is positive add (n, n), (-n, n), (n, -n), (-n, -n) to the list or dict of active cells. hmmhmh not sure if that makes sense. for x in range(cell_amount): for y in range(cell_amount): if (x, y): #check if cell is active here grid[( x, y)] == 1 grid[(-x, y)] == 1 grid[( x, -y)] == 1 grid[(-x, -y)] == 1 hope that makes sense. good luck!

  try to do saveImage outside the loop with the option multiPage set to True. saveImage(f"~/Desktop/test/issueContextLeak/RotatingImage.png", multipage=True) Somehow your image object got lost in between saveImage actions... see saveImage options: https://www.drawbot.com/content/canvas/saveImage.html#drawBot.saveImage

  @gferreira Thank you! That is much clearer now. I found that in my example I have a lot of transformations and somewhere it gets weird again, but on its own it works!

  @MauriceMeilleur An arbitrary amount of circles seemingly overlapping: import random number_of_circles = 10 radius = 100 wobble = 400 canvas_size = 1000 circles = [] drawn_circles = [] center = canvas_size / 2 # Create circles for i in range(number_of_circles): x = center - (wobble * 0.5) + random.random() * wobble y = center - (wobble * 0.5) + random.random() * wobble circle = BezierPath() circle.oval(x - radius, y - radius, radius * 2, radius * 2) circles.append(circle) # Check if circles overlap for circle in circles: for i in range(len(drawn_circles)): intersecting_shape = circle.intersection(circles[i]) if len(intersecting_shape.points) > 0: circle = circle.difference(circles[i]) drawn_circles.append(circle) # Draw circles, or what’s left of them newPage(canvas_size, canvas_size) fill(None) stroke(0) for circle in drawn_circles: drawPath(circle)

  Hoi I’m using OS 10.13.6, Drawbot says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'helper_functions' ––– ah, sorry, I just saw that there’s an extra file with the helper functions.
