Tom De Smedt & Frederik De Bleser: NodeBox

NodeBox is another drawing machine (or “state machine”) based on the DrawBot by Just van Rossum. Like DrawBot, NodeBox is based on Python and it offers the same great output functions: any drawing can be exported as a PDF. Furthermore, it is possible to use a wide range of python libraries like PyWordNet to create graphics and diagrams.

Hi, as the creator of NodeBox I’d like to mention some of the new features in recent versions.

NodeBox now can make animations, which can be run in the program itself, and exported as a set of PDF files (like a flip-book) or as a QuickTime animation.

NodeBox has features for rapid-prototyping generative animations, such as “the throttle”, where you can drag any number in the code and immediately see the results, even with running animations.

Furthermore, NodeBox is very well documented: every function comes with a description and an example, and we provide examples for all of the features with the distribution.

NodeBox is free and open-source, released under a MIT license.

Hello Frederik, the fault is entirely mine and I can only apologize for the misunderstanding. I’ve posted a correction already as well as correcting the original post.
