hellbox-drawbot

A hellbox plugin that runs a DrawBot script against a font file to produce a specimen or other output.

Usage

from hellbox import Hellbox
from hellbox.jobs.drawbot import DrawBot

with Hellbox("specimen") as task:
    task.read("build/*.ttf") >> DrawBot("specimen.py") >> task.write("build/specimen")

All fonts from the previous chute are installed before the script runs, available as the fontNames list. The script is responsible for calling saveImage — any files saved during execution are passed to the next chute.

specimen.py

W, H = 800, 600

newPage(W, H)
fill(1)
rect(0, 0, W, H)
fill(0)

for i, name in enumerate(fontNames):
    font(name, 48)
    text("Round", (40, H - 100 - i * 80))

saveImage("specimen.pdf")
