DrawBot

Short description: Open source OS X application for generating graphics from Python scripts

DrawBot is an open source application for OS X that allows users to write simple Python scripts to generate two-dimensional graphics. The builtin graphics primitives support rectangles, ovals, (bezier) paths, polygons, text objects and transparency.

DrawBot primarily serves an educational purpose, used as a tool to teach the basics of programming. Students get graphical feedback for positive reinforcement via coding. They learn programming structures such as variables, conditional statements, functions. DrawBot is used by the Royal Academy.

DrawBot is written in Python, with a fully self-sufficient binary.
