Shoebot

What is Shoebot?

Shoebot is a versatile, open-source graphics robot that empowers users to create dynamic, generative artwork through the power of Python programming. Offering a straightforward text editor interface, Shoebot allows users to craft Python scripts that define the drawing process, which are then seamlessly translated into high-quality outputs in popular open file formats such as SVG, PDF, PostScript, or PNG. Beyond its standalone application, Shoebot's modular nature enables it to function as a Python module, a plugin for Python-scriptable tools like Inkscape, or even to be executed directly from the command line, providing users with a diverse range of integration options to suit their creative workflow
