Hello,
for some time I'm busy the drawBot. Writing visuals in Python.
And I just bought Module8 because of the free update to v2.

Specially I am curious about the scripting and the recording functions, great tools!!

Do I understand it correctly that M8v2 can output these scripts of drawBot?

drawBot:

Well, the Python mechanism in Modul8 has been designed mainly to communicate with the Modul8 functionnalities. It does not mean that you can't combine Modul8 API with some other Python API. For instance you can use socket to allow two Modul8 applications on two different computers to communicate and syncronize output.

Now I don't know DrawBot, so I'm not sure what can be done with it.

thanks,
with drawbot you can draw with python and export as pdf. It's a really good program for designers who wants to make 'random' illustrations or layouts.

Drawbot looks like cool stuff. However I don't see an easy way to mix the output of Drawbot with Modul8 compositing. Of course you can export your work to a pdf and re-import it in Modul8 using scripting but it would be pretty slow.

Thx klebowax, this drawbot is good fun. And I suppose its also a good way to get to grips with the python syntax until M8 2.0 comes out
heres a little clip I made using drawbot :

Hi everyone !!!
So 4 years later, i am reading this thread...

M8 V3 is about to arrive, and i was wondering
Is there other way to access the DrawView other than with the keywords listed P109? or is there more keywords to come?

>For example the "basic":

draw a pixel: module.drawPixel('drawView', X,Y,r,g,b,a)

i know for now we could use DrawRect('view, X,Y,1,1, r,g,b,a)...
but a potential function 'drawpixel()' could be ...ligther?

Cheers
