* outputfile should have a valid extension (.svg. (this is a makeshift solution until we have a proper package for Shoebox) It's probably appropriate to place your scripts inside the shoebox dir for now. You should now see a new shoebox/ directory inside your project dir. Make a new directory for your Shoebox project(s), and then run the following command in your terminal: Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install mercurial Shoebox uses Mercurial for version control. This is free software, distributed under the GPLv3 license.įor now, the only means of installing Shoebox is getting it from the source There's a lot of stuff that is still subject to change and/or not working as it should - please regard it as being in a very early alpha phase -, but we're coding and typing hard to solve this! Shoebox can be run stand-alone or as part of a Python program - see the Getting Started page for more details. Unlike Processing and Nodebox though, Shoebox can only output still images for the time being. Shoebox can read scripts in the Nodebox language and output images in SVG, PostScript, PDF or PNG format.Ĭomparing to graphics coding alternatives like Nodebox and Processing, Shoebox ends up being lighter and more flexible, thanks to not depending on an interface engine for rendering, and thus making it potentially suitable for CPU-conscious uses like server applications. Shoebox also borrows from the principles outlined in the Little Coder's Predicament, a manifesto by the author of Shoes, which is a similar and awesome project using the Ruby language instead of Python. Shoebox uses the Cairo graphics engine for rendering, and instead of a full-fledged GUI it provides a simple command-line interface and the ability to be called from external Python scripts without effort.
