frederik at typemytype.com should do it

mm, strange, could you share your font? (offline only with me or a simplified dummy example)

thanks

works also fine on Big Sur (11.4)

what is your OS version?

this simplified example works... on 10.13

translate(50, 50)

font('SourceSerif4Variable-Roman.ttf')
fontSize(76)
fontVariations(opsz=8)
text("hello world", (0, 0))

fontVariations(opsz=60)
text("hello world", (0, 80))

cool hack, Gustavo

Looking at a way to disable the automatic optical size scaling.

he Szymon!

a bezierPath object is not made to be editable. One way could be jumpt to a glyph object.

or do a detour by cutting the path in four quarters and draw them seperatly

# create a bezierPath
path = BezierPath()
# add text to the path with a font and fontSize
path.text("P", font="Helvetica-Bold", fontSize=778)
# move the page a bit
translate(100, 100)
# get the bounds of the path
minx, miny, maxx, maxy = path.bounds()
# calculate the width, height of the bounds
# we only need half the width, height
w = (maxx-minx) * .5
h = (maxy-miny) * .5
# create a bezierPath and add a quarter
bottomLeft = BezierPath()
bottomLeft.rect(minx, miny, w, h)
# create a bezierPath and add a quarter
bottomRight = BezierPath()
bottomRight.rect(minx + w, miny, w, h)
# create a bezierPath and add a quarter
topLeft = BezierPath()
topLeft.rect(minx, miny + h, w, h)
# create a bezierPath and add a quarter
topRight = BezierPath()
topRight.rect(minx + w, miny + h, w, h)

# only keep the path when both of the them are filled
bottomLeft = bottomLeft & path
bottomRight = bottomRight & path
topLeft = topLeft & path
topRight = topRight & path
# start drawing
with savedState():
    translate(w, h)
    skew(-30, 0)
    translate(-w, -h)
    fill(1, 0, 0)
    drawPath(bottomLeft)
    fill(1, 1, 0)
    drawPath(bottomRight)
    
fill(0, 1, 0)
drawPath(topLeft)
fill(0, 1, 1)
drawPath(topRight)

you will need to reset the drawing stack with newDrawing() after you exported a video

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

W, H = 500, 500
FRAMES = 5
fps = 5

outputs = 3
for output in range(outputs):
    
    newDrawing()

    for frame in range(FRAMES):
        newPage(W, H)
        frameDuration(1/fps)
        fill(1/(output+1))
        rect(0, 0, W, H)
    
    saveImage("~/Desktop/test-%s.mp4" % output)

Your scripts ends at the last line, that is also the moment the "output view" stops listening to print statements of your script.

However that window is still open and calls print when you hit that button. DrawBot collects all these in a debugger window: use alt+cmd+ ? to open that window (or press alt with the Help menu open.

see https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/releases/tag/3.128

enjoy!!

follow it up here: https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/pull/433

added your example to the issue on github...

you could also use itertools.product to find all combinations of two lists.

import itertools

count = 10
w = width() / count
h = height() / count

for x, y in itertools.product(range(count), range(count)):
    if (x+y) % 2:
        rect(x * w, y * h, w, h)

use:

glyphNames = ["a", "aring", "agrave"]
txt = FormattedString()
txt.appendGlyph(*glyphNames)
textBox(txt, (10, 10, 400, 400))

see https://www.drawbot.com/content/text/formattedString.html#drawBot.context.baseContext.FormattedString.appendGlyph

I guess you are making to complex

import re

# a list of words to format differently
wordsToItalicize = ["italic", "bar"]
# your text
txt = '''foo bar italic bar foo italic bar foo'''
# the default formatting as a reusable dict
defaultFormatting = dict(
    font="Skia",
    fill=(0, .2, .1, 1)
)
# the italic formatting as a reusable dict
italicFormatting = dict(
    font="Times-Italic",
    fill=(1, 0, 0, 1)
)
# compile a regex 
r = re.compile(f"({'|'.join(wordsToItalicize)})")
# start an empty formatted string
ftxt = FormattedString()
# start loop over all the items with the regex
for item in r.split(txt):
    # choose the correct formatting
    if item in wordsToItalicize:
        settings = italicFormatting
    else:
        settings = defaultFormatting
    # append the text in the formatting text
    ftxt.append(item, **settings)
# draw the text
textBox(ftxt, (10, 10, 100, 100))

see the python courseware about strings: https://www.drawbot.com/content/courseware.html#strings

you can not have the same quote mark inside a string and to indicate a string.

print("d'étude")  
print('d"étude') 
print('d\'étude') # escaping '

good luck!

could you provide an example where a word is split at the ' mark?

that is indeed correct

see the documentation: https://www.drawbot.com/content/text/formattedString.html#drawBot.context.baseContext.FormattedString.openTypeFeatures

(+ I've changed the title of this topic)

I dont know glyhps but I would encourage you to use a BezierPath object instead see https://www.drawbot.com/content/shapes/bezierPath.html#drawBot.context.baseContext.BezierPath.translate

thanks @ConnorDav, the width and height of frames must be even numbers. I could happen if you scale up the resolution the width and height becomes odd numbers.

Could you post an simplified example causing this traceback?

enjoy!
