Random values inside the axes of a variable font

[Daniel Neves]

Hello guys!
I'm working with my typeface "Extra" to produce different animations with drawbot.
Im fairly new to python and i'm trying to write a script that uses random values inside of the axes of a variable font.

This typeface has 3 axes
Weight (100-900)
Width (100-900)
Repetition (0-10)

So, instead of saying that i want X values to be animated, how can i say to the program to chose random ones inside of these 3 axes, and animated randomly every time i export as a gif?

Thank you very much, hope you can help me!
Have a good day

!

I am not quite sure what exactly you are asking but the get a random integer value inside a range you could use randint(min_value, max_value). This works for integers. To get a random value between 100 and 900 you would use randint(100, 900).
If you have a smaller range and want fractions as well you could use min_value + random() * (max_value - min_value) eg 100 + (900-100) * random()
I hope that helps, good luck!
