Drawscript - turn Illustrator shapes into code

[Tom_Krcha]

I've just launched a little extension for Illustrator I've been working on called Drawscript - http://drawscri.pt

It converts Illustrator shapes into code (Obj-C, C++, JavaScript, Processing, ActionScript 3, JSON, Bezier array).

It's great for skinning UIs, creating vector assets for gaming and learning/teaching vector graphics programming.

If you have any comments, found bugs, etc. Let me know here or on my Twitter, Facebook, Google+.

Thanks!

Tom

This is awesome! Any chance of a port to the Corona sdk? In the past they have focused on bitmap but have recently released Graphics.2.0 which now includes newPolygon with fill options plus stroke and shape functions. Take a look at this about newPolygon.

http://docs.coronalabs.com/tachyon/api/library/display/newPolygon.html

I would be most willing to pay for a Corona ready version of Drawscript.

Keep up the good work.

I would love to have something like this for corona sdk. Any updates on this?

Has anyone written a transformation in javascript to convert Drawscript's JSON into EaselJS's graphics code?

The processing code is much cleaner then the bezier editor tool inside processing. but I have fond it better to use C++ OpenFrameworks Shape becasue that takes shapes in to account.  The processing mode creates lines which are unfillable as objects.  C++ OpenFrameworks Shapes creates a shape using ofBeginShape, ofEndShape, ofVertex, which just need to be converted to beginShape, endShape, and vertex

As adrock42 says, the Processing conversion should be using the beginShape, endShape and vertex format rather than just lines. Lines won't accept a fill color and aren't grouped into objects.

e.g.

fill(247,170,243,80);
beginShape();
vertex(84,317);
vertex(105,290);
vertex(90,269);
vertex(110,306);
vertex(97,261);
vertex(155,275);
vertex(84,317);
endShape();

Will this be updated for illustrator 18.0.0 on CC? When I try to install to Extensions Manager I get a return: "This extension can not be installed, it requires Illustrator version in range of inclusively between 16.0 and 17.9."

Hey guys,
Does anyone know Is there a way to output the anchor coordinates like [x1,y2],[x2,y2] instead of x1,y1,x2,y2.

I looked into the code, but I am not very versed in Java. I think I found what I needed to change but after I recompiled the .zxp I could not install it. It said that the signature was invalid.

Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Really interested in trying and if possible participating in improving this extension.

Unfortunately it cannot be installed on Illustrator CC 2015.

Possible to get it at least to install or better get the source so I can patch and make it works ?

Thanks in advance
