The documentation is adjusted and path.onCurvePoints and path.offCurvePoints and the path contours are immutable now.

closed points in a bezierPath must be a tuple as it is immutable #350

The attributes onCurvePoints of a bezierPath is a immutable representation of the path points.

I would like to encourage you to look at pens and how to alter point data and point structures while drawing in a pen.

see

• https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/tree/master/Lib/fontTools/pens
• https://github.com/robotools/fontPens

A drawBot BezierPath is also a pen.

closed viewBox for svg #347

I only wanted to teach you how to narrow down the problem, by elimenating parts :), make the problem as small as possible and fix the smallest problems first.

All the Glyhps callback are not the issue:

When you draw physically: you would start a drawing by first taking some paper, picking up a pencil, put the pencil down and draw, finish the drawing by framing it and hanging it on the wall!

Translating your code: you are drawing on the same paper over and over again, and only saving the image after you hang it to the wall...

I will let you try some more

good luck!!

see futher discussion https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/issues/344

open input for imageColorSyncProfileData #344

could you provide a simpler example... by eliminating all imports and functionality which is not default (like from GylphsApp)

And every drawing should be wrapped in newDrawing() and endDrawing. You are doing this now at the top of the script (once).

you need color profile data:

like this one https://github.com/haasn/cms/blob/master/Adobe ICC Profiles (end-user)/RGB/AppleRGB.icc

import AppKit

fill(1, 0, 0)
rect(20, 20, width()-40, height()-40)

data = AppKit.NSData.dataWithContentsOfFile_('path/to/AppleRGB.icc')

saveImage("test.tiff", imageColorSyncProfileData=data)

good luck!!

euh, nope, you will need to provide more info

do you have a sample script?
and how is the output different?

thanks

could elaborate why a viewBox is necessary? and how it relates to width, height DrawBot is using.

(maybe this discussion must move to an github issue)

you can draw any string / formattedString into a bezierPath with bezierPath.text and bezierPath.textBox

see http://www.drawbot.com/content/shapes/bezierPath.html#drawBot.context.baseContext.BezierPath.text

for the rest of your questions, Im missing some source data, to get you a proper answer. As type has no fill color, your grey values must come from somewhere else.

A dedicated Maurice-category would be good plan, only if you build a Maurice-bot that answers directly

outside the app DrawBot, when using DrawBot as a module, you have to call drawBot.newDrawing() to reset the drawing stack.

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

its also adviced to call drawBot.endDrawing() when you are done.

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

• Adding bezierPath.expandStroke(width, lineCap="round", lineJoin="round", miterLimit=10) (thanks to Bahman Eslami)

• Improved internal OpenType feature tags setting

• Improved complex formattedString type setting

• Improved alignment with text() and FormattedString

• Added a DrawBot frontend for pip/PyPI to make it super easy to install third-party packages: see menu Python -> Install Python Packages...

  

• Fixed text stroke behavior (but is a breaking change): strokeWidth on text no longer scales with the fontSize

• Removed support for .mov export on 10.15 and up (QTKit is no longer supported there)

• Fixed extracting single frames from .gif files

• Improved setup.py, so drawbot-as-a-module can be easily installed with pip using a github URL

• All test now run on Travis CI (and soon also on GitHub Actions)

• Removed Python 2 code

• Many small issues were fixed

DrawBot uninstalls the font after the script is done, so its only accessible during run time of the script.

There are some issues when reinstalling a font in the app itself where the postscript name is the still the same.

This has been fixed upstream. Will try to built a fresh release after the weekend

see the release notes: https://forum.drawbot.com/topic/203/drawbot3-121-is-released

numpy is not embedded into DrawBot and the latest DrawBot is python 3.7 and it can only add local packages installed with the same python version.

If you want to use numpy you need to install 3.7, get it here https://www.python.org/downloads/ and install numpy locally

good luck!

get a pre-release version here http://static.typemytype.com/drawBot/DrawBot10.15.dmg

closed CTFeatureOpenTypeTag #307

CTFeatureSelectorIdentifier is not available anymore on 10.15, let me check

• Jumping to python 3.7

  If you use external packages you will need to install them for python 3.7. If you don't have python 3.7 installed you will need to do that first.

• Improved syntax highlighting for python 3

• Fallback fonts are also used in a svg context.

• listNamedInstances() lists all named instances for a variable font.

• BezierPath objects have bezierPath.line(pt1, pt2) and bezierPath.polygon(pt1, pt2, ...) methods.

• Update internal packages!
