what does work:
im = ImageObject()
im.linearGradient((300, 300), (50, 0), (300, 0), color0=(1, 0, 0, 1), color1=(0, 1, 0, .3))
fontSize(100)
text("Hello World", (0, 30))
image(im, (0, 0))
This creates a image with a gradient with opacity. But it will be a lot slower...
you can set a frameDuration(seconds) for every frame. This will speed up if you keep the same amount of frames.
If you want to keep the same length of the animation you you have to use a combo of a higher frameDuration and a higher frame rate.
see http://www.drawbot.com/content/canvas/pages.html#drawBot.frameDuration
The documentation is adjusted and path.onCurvePoints and path.offCurvePoints and the path contours are immutable now.
The attributes onCurvePoints of a bezierPath is a immutable representation of the path points.
I would like to encourage you to look at pens and how to alter point data and point structures while drawing in a pen.

A drawBot BezierPath is also a pen.

But that means that default linespacing = fontSize + 1?
not really… it depends on the vertical metrics in the font.
here’s a test with other fonts:
from random import choice
fontName = choice(installedFonts())
txt = FormattedString()
txt.append('a', fontSize=1000, font=fontName)
print(fontName)
print(textSize(txt)[1])
@MauriceMeilleur the size of a text box is influenced by the lineHeight too. this produces the expected result:
see test_string.append('a', fontSize=fSize, lineHeight=fSize, font='%s-%s'%(fontFamily,fontStyle))
cheers!
hello @MauriceMeilleur,
you can set a different resolution when saving images in DrawBot. this can produce a different size in pixels than the document size (in points):
size(100, 100)
rect(10, 10, 80, 80)
imgPath = '~/Desktop/malevich.png'
saveImage(imgPath, imageResolution=144) # 200% = 72dpi * 2
print(imageSize(imgPath))
# (200, 200)
you can also try using PIL/Pillow.
cheers!
