cool, thanks for sharing!

@frederik OMG it works now!!! thank you very much!!!! Happy holidays!!!

@frederik done! https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/issues/414

@gferreira said in Markdown syntax for FormattedString?: markdown==3.2.2 Thanks so much Gustavo!

Thanks @gferreira, I somehow completely missed that when going through the documentation. That's exactly what I need haha. I only have to go through through a single line of pixels, so hopefully the speed won't matter that much.

This is an old post but this might help someone looking for iteration on gifs, and maybe anyone can tell an interesting fact about it. I've been working with gifs generated via Photoshop and Media Encoder and they crash after the second frame. What has worked for me to fix this problem is to open the gif file with the Mac OS Preview app and rewrite the file, even though this solved my problem it could be great to know if you had a similar experience and how you solved it.

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!

Hello, @gferreira! I had thought about working word for word ... I didn’t know if it was a good idea ... but it’s really interesting what you coded! I wouldn't have found it alone! thanks! I guess this way the text would never be justified ... but it will be very useful for me! thanks!

Of course! Thanks a lot!

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! R

@frederik thank you It worked great now: x, y = 500, 500 resolutions = [72, 18] mfont = '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/SansNom-Regular.otf' installFont(mfont) font(mfont) print(listFontGlyphNames()) letters = ['n', 'E'] def pixelar(tx, t, al=True): newPage(x, y) path = BezierPath() path.text(tx, fontSize=500, font=mfont) coords = path.bounds() translate((x - (coords[0] + coords[2])) * 0.5, (y - (coords[1] + coords[3])) * 0.5) drawPath(path) saveImage('~/Desktop/hint_{0}_{1}_aal_{2}.png'.format(tx, t, str(al).lower()), imageResolution=int(t), antiAliasing = al) newDrawing() for letter in letters: for resolution in resolutions: pixelar(letter, resolution, False) pixelar(letter, resolution)

@jo Thank you, I was disconnected from Drawbot so I haven't seen this, I'll try your suggestions on the code

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.

@frederik https://www.drawbot.com/_/downloads/en/stable/pdf/, and my bad: I was using an old version of the documentation (3.121). I see the 3.126 version has a working URL. (The line break is breaking the link in the pdf, though.)

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

That's what I suspected. It seemed like the kind of question students would ask and I wanted to make sure the answer I gave was the right one. Thanks, Frederik.

you can slice a formattedString and keep the formatting: txt = FormattedString() txt += "hello World" sub = txt[0:5] print(sub)

Added in DrawBot 3.126 thanks!

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

Thank you! This is very helpful. I will look into nsview and looping over the pages.
