Draw on canvas?

[Bhupendra_Aole]

Is it possible to draw on canvas using script? Eg. drawing line/circle/rect providing coordinates as parameters?

The only way I found out to set a mark on the canvas was to create a selection and then stroke it. Even that requires a manual intervention of the stroke dialog box.

Thanks!

Hi

Currently no.

There’s a work in progress, but merge request is currently not ready yet…

WIP: Python Painting API (!449) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab

For now, drawing on a canvas through script is possible but you can only do it through a QPainter (ie: you only have access to Qt API to draw, don’t expect to draw with Krita’s brushes)

Thanks for the info!

That’s interesting! You don’t happen to have some example code to do that via Krita+Python, do you? I’d like to draw just e.g. a filled circle on a frame. While I have found PyQt examples, I haven’t found anything that ties this into Krita.

Hi

Here an example to draw a simple animation.

Programming Draw Tools?

Hi This is tricky, Krita doesn’t provides API to easily build animation from scripts There’s 2 possible methods: Generate all frames and import them in Krita Generate empty frames, import them in Krita, update frames content Here an example for first solution (the simplest): import tempfile import shutil import os.path from krita import * from PyQt5.Qt import * def createDoc(): """Create a new document and return document""" doc=Krita.instance().createDocument(800, 600, "Testing …

Otherwise you can take a look on plugin Composition Helper

Composition Helper

Hi You’ll find here a new plugin I’ve made for fun (because Buli Commander take times and sometime I need to do other things). Plugin allows to add some classic helpers like Rule of third or Golden spiral to document. That can help to compose drawing/painting scenes. [r1-0-0_main_example] As helpers are added as new layers in document, this allows to manage them easily like any other layers (and for me, don’t have to implement to many options ): Transformation Blending mode V…

in this plugin you’ll see how to draw on a paint layer and vector layer (but maybe the code is not “easy” to follow for a beginner… )

This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Much appreciated!

Hi All, I came here to report that the WIP github merge request has been closed. I was told that the work may still get done, but this request is closed.

Access KisStrokes in Python? Or some way to paint

Hey Team! Just getting into Krita development now and super excited to finally use a painting tool that has a Python API. I wrote a system a while back in Corel that writes out their “recording” files and then plays them back in Corel to generate paintings and was hoping to do the same in Krita. The StrokesQueue stuff seems like the best way to simulate the brush strokes (I can do QPainter stuff without Krita but your tools are very nice), but the docs are all in C++. Not asking for anyone to d…
