DrawBot is a powerful 2D graphics scripting tool.

DrawBot RoboFont Extension

DrawBot inside RoboFont.

The extension has access to all the RoboFont API and callbacks. So for example CurrentFont() and CurrentGlyph() are directly accessible in a script!

Additional Callbacks

drawGlyph(aGlyph) draws a glyph

bezierPath.addGlyph(aglyph) adds a glyph to the BezierPath object

Settings

There is one setting: you can tell RoboFont to use DrawBot as the default .py editor.

As Module

The extension installs also drawBot as module. This allows to use import drawBot and use drawBot in any script.

from drawBot import *
# reset the drawing stack
newDrawing()
# loop over all glyphs
for glyph in CurrentFont():
	# create a new page
	newPage(1000, 1000)
	# draw each glyph on the page
	drawGlyph(glyph)
