Sketchingpy

We have an online editor where you can build your sketchbook without installing any software. All you need is a browser! Two examples to get you started: Hello World: Static and Hello World: Interactive. Looking for more inspiration? Check out the larger examples section. We also have details on deploying your sketches to the web outside the online editor and offer a community page with chat rooms, a bug tracker, and more.

You can use Sketchingpy locally on your own machine (like a laptop or desktop) in regular Python programs. The recommended install which enables all features (see also minimum install):

pip install sketchingpy[desktopall]

Start with a quick hello world before learning how to make stand-alone executables or reviewing the larger examples section. Finally, check out the community page for a Discord, issue tracker, and more.

Jupyter ecosystem integration pairs the power of scientific programming with the expressiveness and flexibility of creative coding. Want to try it first? Check out our Binder! When you are ready to install the following recommended command enables all features (see also minimum install):

pip install sketchingpy[notebook]

Then, take a look at an example Jupyter Notebook, the larger examples section, and the community tab (chat, issue tracker, and more).

More details on mobile coming soon. Until then, try taking a look at Sketchingpy's web option which is also intended to work for mobile browsers.

You can run Sketchingpy just about anywhere you can execute Python. This includes servers which don't have desktop environments. For web, the pure Python wheel can be used (no external dependencies needed). Outside the browser, the minimum install:

pip install sketchingpy[minimal]

This will enable use of the Sketch2DStatic renderer built on top of Pillow. It can be used in headless environments! Need more help getting started? See the examples. Stuck? Visit the community tab to chat online with other friendly users, let developers know about problems, and more.
