# DrawBot
DrawBot is a powerful, free application for macOS that invites you to write Python scripts to generate two-dimensional graphics. The built-in graphics primitives support rectangles, ovals, (bezier) paths, polygons, text objects, colors, transparency and much more. You can program multi-page documents and stop-motion animations. Export formats include PDF, SVG, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, animated GIF and MP4 video.
To download the latest version of the app, go to

## Using DrawBot as a Python module
DrawBot can also be installed as a Python module, the app is not required.
#### Install
The easiest way is to use pip:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot
To install it manually, follow these instructions:
download: https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/archive/master.zip
run `cd `
run `python setup.py install`
#### Usage
```Python
import drawBot
with drawBot.drawing():
drawBot.newPage(1000, 1000)
drawBot.rect(10, 10, 100, 100)
drawBot.saveImage("~/Desktop/aRect.png")
```
It is adviced to wrap your drawing instructions into a `with drawbot.drawing()` statement, to clear the instruction stack and remove installed fonts.
