Hello, it is possible to program brushes with scripts, as it happens in firealpaca? 1. Can someone provide me with a simple example that paints a round brush with the tablet? A simple example and how to program is appreciated. 2. Is there a function get\_pixel and put\_pixel? 3.If so, I would like to implement them in krita. If it is very difficult, I don’t know how to program it here, I can show an example of them and someone expert in programming implements it, they should only pass my algorithm to krita. All the best. ---

No it’s not possible to script brushes and there’s no easy way to programmatically paint. That’s not what the scripting support is meant for in Krita. ---

There was a merge request for expanding the API to draw programtically. Although I don’t know if it had brush support > **[Python Painting API (!1435) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/1435)** > > This merge request is based on a previous merge ---

It demonstrates a way of making scripptable brushes via Lua. In the video I played with drawing speed and drawing angle. I’d really wanted to use pressure, but I don’t have my tablet with my dev environement frowning I chose Lua because it’s simpler to embed in C/C++. I hacked the pixel engine by adding a new “dynamic sensor”, which exposes other sensor values and run a lua script to calcu…
