newDrawing() size?

[ricardov]

Dear friends.
Im using a loop to create different drawings and save each as a A4 separate PDF. Im using newDrawing() to erase previous drawings. But PDF are 1000 x 1000, so I think newDrawing() is reseting A4 size to 1000x1000.
I will appreciate any advice.
Best!

You need to specify the size of the new canvas after each newDrawing()

for i in range(10):
    newDrawing()
    size("A4")
    fill(random())
    rect(0, 0, width(), height())
    saveImage(f'~/Desktop/file-{i}.pdf')
    endDrawing()

newDrawing() completely reset the drawing stack, as @imik mentioned.

Use newDrawing if you want to generate multiple drawings, or when you are in an environment where the drawing stack is kept in memory and a hard reset of the drawing stack is required.

see the docs: https://www.drawbot.com/content/canvas/pages.html#drawBot.newDrawing

Thanks @imik and @frederik tested and it worked! Im creating a set of 300 different covers for different reports based on data, and goes super fine.
Best for all!
