yes you can! in the DrawBot code base test we use: rect(10, 10, 100, 100) pilObject = saveImage("PIL") you need to have PIL installed yourself (the drawBot forum is almost closed, I keep it as read only, to much spam, sorry, move to drawBot channel in the RoboFont discord)

I hadn't thought about this solution! Thanks, @frederik! newPage("A4Landscape") box_w, box_h = width()-100, height()-100 box_x, box_y = 50, 50 txt = FormattedString() txt.fontSize(90) txt.align("center") txt.append("LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG STRING\n"*30) txt_w = textSize(txt)[0] txt_h = textSize(txt)[1] width_ratio = box_w/txt_w height_ratio = box_h/txt_h sf = min(width_ratio , height_ratio, 1) scale(sf) textBox(txt, (box_x/sf, box_y/sf, box_w/sf, box_h/sf))

thanks for the issue --> https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/issues/495

I'm looking to not print : *** DrawBot warning: [...] ***

@frederik Thanks for this clarification !

I just updated the repo with separated snippets for SublimeText.

no, you can not.. but DrawBot exists also as a module where you can use your own python. see https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot#using-drawbot-as-a-python-module

cool way to make a rounded rect! there are already a roundedRect example in the repository: see https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/blob/master/examples/roundedRect.py I would encourage you to make a python package out of your helper tools that you import when you needed it... # a separate file with the name "roundedRect.py" def roundedRect(...): # draw your stuff here # an other file in the same directory # name of the file/module name of the function from roundedRect import roundedRect # call it roundedRect(...) hope this makes sense!

I didn't know that option, thanks a lot frederik !

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 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 for your help! I don't know what was wrong in my code, but if yours everything is working !
