Hi Frederik,
I’d like to control the TinyDrawbot Canvas through a small interface built with Vanilla.I am trying to achieve something similar to these example:
http://drawbot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/content/variables.html
http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-canvas/ (at the bottom of the page)My plugin has a draw() method where I’ve put all the drawbot drawing commands, but nothing happens in the canvas.
Here a short example of the code structure:from vanilla import * def drawRect(side): rect(0,0,side,side) class SliderDemo(object): def __init__(self): self.w = Window((200, 43)) self.w.slider = Slider((10, 10, -10, 23), tickMarkCount=10, callback=self.sliderCallback) self.w.open() def sliderCallback(self, sender): drawRect(float(sender.get())*100) SliderDemo()
Any suggestion about how to deal correctly with this?
Thanks

In your example you don’t have a canvas object that is able to show drawing callbacks.
Please see the example http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-canvas/
The slider just tells the canvas object to redraw itself. While getting a draw callback some drawBot methods are called to draw something into the canvas
hope this helps
good luck!
November 16, 2015 at 18:32 #6206Hi Frederik,
I’ve probably not explained correctly.
I’d like to act on the TinyDrawbot canvas, not the mojo one (it is what I am doing now for testing).So, maybe I can rephrase the question in this way: is it possible to point to the TinyDrawbot/Drawbot canvas –like to the mojo one– from a vanilla object?
I need this kind of behavior:
http://drawbot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/content/variables.html
but I can’t use the Variable class because I need more freedom concerning UI.hope this is more clear
thanksNovember 17, 2015 at 13:34 #6207oh, here is an example, it is required to install the drawBot extension, get it here: https://github.com/typemytype/drawBotRoboFontExtension
import drawBot from drawBot.ui.drawView import DrawView from vanilla import * class Test(object): def __init__(self): self.w = Window((400, 400), minSize=(200, 200)) self.w.s = Slider((10, 10, -10, 22), minValue=10, maxValue=100, value=50, callback=self.sliderCallback) self.w.c = DrawView((10, 40, -10, -10)) self.w.open() def sliderCallback(self, sender): value = sender.get() # start a new drawing drawBot.newDrawing() # add a page drawBot.newPage(100, 100) # draw something drawBot.rect(10, 10, value, value) # get the pdf data pdf = drawBot.pdfImage() # set the pdf data in the canvas self.w.c.setPDFDocument(pdf) Test()
good luck!
