    • RE: Placed vector image becomes raster?

      Not wrapping the pdf in an ImageObject() will keep the vectors.

      Almost the same code, but instead of drawing a grid we draw 1000 circles randomly. As they have to stay in the same place, we save their locations in an array.

      (Also in this script some nice code to have if you want to publish animated gifs; a way to reduce the colours in the gif.)

      @crackheroine I have little experience with creating UI for DrawBot, and no experience with Vanilla or tkinter. So, I would love to see your results here, if you are willing to share.

    • RE: UI questions

      If a very basic UI is sufficient, maybe you can use the Variable() funtion?

      In this post @frederik talks about Vanilla. That might be useful to you?

    • RE: Running Drawbot as a module in environments that aren't Mac OS X

      Yes, macOS only.

      From the GitHub page: ‘This module only works on Mac OS as it requires PyObjC, AppKit, CoreText Quartz and more.’

    • RE: BezierPath offset problem.

      I found a way.

      newPage(2000,2000)
      
      # Red Rectangle
      path2 = BezierPath()
      path2.text("2", fontSize=200, offset=(200,300))
      with savedState():
          fill(1,0,0)
          x = path2.getNSBezierPath().bounds().origin.x
          y = path2.getNSBezierPath().bounds().origin.y
          w = path2.getNSBezierPath().bounds().size.width
          h = path2.getNSBezierPath().bounds().size.height
          rect(x,y,w,h)
      drawPath(path2)
      

      I’m not sure if this is even allowed, maybe @frederik will take some reputation points away from me ;-). Also, I’m not sure if the way offset works is correct, or if it’s a bug.

      Personally, I would just wrap your fourth solution in a savedState() and accept all the translations of the canvas. I think that would be the DrawBot way.

      # Magenta Rectangle
      with savedState():
          translate(900,800)
          path4 = BezierPath()
          path4.text("4", fontSize=200)
          with savedState():
              fill(1,0,1)
              rect(*path4.bounds())
          drawPath(path4)

    • RE: DrawBot Auto-completion Snippet

      I use Sublime Text for all coding except for DrawBot. This looks useful. However, I have little experience with snippets.

      To use them in Sublime Text, I have to put every snippet in it’s own file? Something like this?:

      path.png

      Or is there a way to use the one file with all snippets?

    • RE: Need help: Dynamic text animation

      You could combine that with bitmapFont-Drawbot.py from Connor Davenport, which will give you something like this:

      Do you mean something like this?

      w = 1920
      h = 1080
      columns = 13
      spacing = w/(columns+1)
      fs = 60
      duration = .25
      txt = 'ABCD'
      frames = columns+len(txt)+1
      
      
      for frame in range(frames):
          newPage(w, h) 
          frameDuration(duration)
          fontSize(fs)
          # white background
          with savedState():
              fill(1)
              rect(0,0,w,h)
          for column in range(columns):
              x = spacing + column * spacing
              # Use the frame count as starting position for the text.
              # frame-len(txt) makes sure the start of the text is outside the row of characters
              if column >= frame-len(txt) and column < frame:
                  # txt[0] gets the first character, A, txt[1] gets the second, etc.
                  # txt[column-frame] makes sure the range alway stays between 0 and the length of the text,
                  # as the length of frames is defined by columns+len(txt)+1.
                  text(txt[column-frame], (x, h/2), align='center')
              else:

                  # You could add random characters here.

    • RE: Upside down text assistance request

      As I can’t see your code, I’m not sure what happens, but scale() normally translates around the origin. Maybe the output is going outside of the canvas?

      It’s possible to change the center of scaling by using center=(x,y).

      In the example below I chose a different solution. I used translate() to temporarily – only within savedState() – move the origin of the canvas.

      font("Times-Italic", 200)
      with savedState():
          # translate the canvas
          translate(200,500)
          # Draw the black text at the (translated) origin 
          text("hello", (0, 0))
          # Mirror the canvas
          scale(1,-1)
          # Draw the red text at the (translated) origin that will appear mirrored 
          fill(1,0,0)
          text("hello", (0, 0))

    • RE: Beginner Question
      y2 = y1 + row_height
      

      Yes, I should have seen that. So much clearer.

      x_positions = [random.random() * row_width for _ in range(d)]
      

      I understand what’s happening here, but I don’t think I’m experienced enough to think this is more readable than the while loop.

      I agree it is the better solution as it obviates the while loop.

      Thanks @frederik
