Placement: one mark in nine places (studio 1)¶
Where a shape sits in its frame changes how it feels: tucked into a corner, resting on the floor, or floating in the middle. Nine frames on an A5 page hold the same small drawing, each one placed at a different point of its frame. The same picture is written without the studio words in examples/studios/01_placement_before.py.
How it works¶
- f.size("A5", margin=f.mm(12)) makes a canvas the size of an A5 page, with a 12 mm margin. f.ground.content is the area inside the margin.
- f.grid(3, 3, gutter=f.mm(6)) divides that area into nine cells. Each cell knows its col and row.
- with f.mark() as pebble: records the drawing once, around its own (0, 0), and draws nothing yet.
- cell.inset() gives a smaller area inside the cell. pebble.place() draws the pebble at a point of it, and anchor= says which point of the pebble lands there: "top-left", "center", and so on.
- grid.show() draws thin guide lines in the window only. They are not in saved files.
Make it yours¶
- Change the pebble: draw a different shape inside the with f.mark() block.
- Change f.mm(4) in cell.inset() to f.mm(0), so the pebble touches the frame.
- Use rotate=30 or scale=1.5 in pebble.place(). The anchor point stays where it is.
- Try f.size("A4", landscape=True, margin=f.mm(12)): the grid follows the page.
The code¶
Copy it into a file and run it.
