You are correct, I should have looked better. I don’t know if there exist these kind of filters for DrawBot (I assume you mean something like Illustrator’s Pathfinder tool). I did some reading on the underlying NSBezierPath, which has an even-odd winding rule, but I'm not smart enough to figure out if that's useable, let alone how.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the result.

Hallo @jo thanks alot - at the moment i use the lissajus only to create different nice looking loops. I changed the values as you suggested and of course it is working now and delivers a new nice looking loop. I`d love to make some more loops with more "natural, subtle and slow" movements. I saw your great visualisations of the different variable font movements and hoped to create a custom path to do so - but i failed... if you like to play around with my very first 5 letter variable font (HABKU) you are very welcome. http://habaland.ch/images/habaroll8GX.ttf i added the the plus and minus to avoid the font doing the whole move to the min and max, because the backgraound would be visible then. (but most likely i created only a mess ) and by the way, i hate the black circle i had to ad "behind the scene" - id love o have a cleaner solution. ...at the moment i am trying to figure out where to append the savedState() without messing everything up... greetings from Bern

hi @habakuk, you can “group” shapes using save() and restore(), and move them with translate(x,y): rect(0, 0, 100, 100) save() translate(200, 200) fill(1, 0, 0) rect(0, 0, 100, 100) oval(0, 120, 100, 100) oval(120, 0, 220, 220) restore() rect(900, 900, 100, 100) hope this makes sense!
