DrawBot3.132

Write a Python script in DrawBot and run it to produce two-dimensional graphics, turning code into visible compositions instead of drawing each element by hand. Its built-in graphics primitives create rectangles, ovals, Bézier paths, polygons, text objects, and transparency.

DrawBot 3.132 is freeware for macOS, with support for both Intel and Apple Silicon architecture. Finished work can be saved in formats including high-resolution, scalable PDF, SVG, movie, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF.

The code-driven workflow suits designers, artists, and educators creating repeatable visual material or programming exercises. It is particularly effective for teaching programming basics because students see colorful results while learning variables, conditional statements, functions, and related concepts. DrawBot has also been used in courses forming part of the curriculum at the Royal Academy in The Hague.

DrawBot is written in Python, but its self-contained binary runs without a separate Python installation. Its source code is available for users who want to customize the software or build their own version.
