drafts

not really a bug: when applying a blur the images gets bigger, check with im.size() before and after the blur is applied.

im.offset() is providing you the correct x, y difference.

this seems to be fixed:

which pdf are you talking about?

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

Trying to connect every step in a simplified script script.
This runs fine... what is your macOS version?

w = h = 300
r = w / 2

def drawRotatedImage(img, angle, pos):
    x, y = pos
    fill(None)
    stroke(0)
    oval(x - r, y - r, r * 2, r * 2)
    clipPath()
    rotate(angle, center = (x, y))
    image(img, (0, 0))


img = ImageObject()
with img:
    size(w, h)
    fontSize(100)
    text("Heee", (10, 10))

for a in range(0, 360, 30):
    newPage(w, h)
    drawRotatedImage(img, a, (w/2, h/2))

In some cases it's a lot easier to have an object of path to work with, instead of the combo: newPath(), moveTo(..), lineTo(..), curveTo(..), closePath()

stroke(0)
fill(None)
# create a new path object
path = BezierPath()
# add a move to to the path object
path.moveTo((200, 200))
# add a line to to the path object
path.lineTo((200, 100))

# this creates a new path and set it as current path in the stack
newPath()
# add a move to to the current path
moveTo((100, 100))
# add a line to to the current path 
lineTo((100, 200))
# draw the current path
drawPath()

# draw the path, instead of the current one
drawPath(path)

you can slice a formattedString and keep the formatting:

txt = FormattedString()
txt += "hello World"
sub = txt[0:5]
print(sub)

good luck! it will be slow to apply remove overlap to a lot of text

# create a fromatted string
t = FormattedString()
# set a font
t.font("Skia")
# set a font size
t.fontSize(100)
# set colors
t.fill(None)
t.stroke(0)
# print out all variation settings for the current font
print(t.listFontVariations())
# set some variation settings
t.fontVariations(wght=2.34)
# add text
t += "Hello"
# draw the fromatted string into a text box
textBox(t, (10, 10, 300, 250))

# create a bezierPath
path = BezierPath()
# draw the formatted string into the bezier path
# this will now be a path instead of text and a font
path.textBox(t, (10, 10, 300, 250))
# apply remove overlap
path.removeOverlap()
# set color 
stroke(0)
fill(None)
# move the page a bit
translate(300, 0)
# draw the path 
drawPath(path)

Added in DrawBot 3.126
thanks!

DrawBot 3.126 has a continuous flag in Variable that adds a Update button

good luck!

You can convert it to a bezier path and apply remove overlap, but I guess its much easier to draw it twice: once with a stroke and the second time with only a fill with the same color as the background.
