Canvas

Canvas is a small Python graphics library written in SFML.
In the future, Canvas will be bigger and maybe even a famous library, but we can only hope.

Syntax

Setup

First of all, you need to import it.
In your selected terminal, run:

pip install canvas_painter

Then in your Python script (e.g. script.py):

import canvas_painter

Functions

• canvas.init() Initializes the drawing canvas/window.

• canvas.load_fonts()
  Loads the default fonts included in the package. You should call this before drawing text.

• canvas.draw_circle(radius, fill_color, outline_color, outline_thickness, x, y)
  Draw a circle with:

  • radius (int)
  • fill_color (str) — red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, or white (default)
  • outline_color (str)
  • outline_thickness (int)
  • x, y (float) — position coordinates

• canvas.draw_rectangle(height, length, fill_color, outline_color, outline_thickness, x, y)
  Draw a rectangle with similar parameters to draw_circle.

• canvas.draw_text(text, font_name, size, color, x, y)
  Draw text string with:

  • text (str) — the string to draw
  • font_name (str) — one of "roboto", "cursive", "figtree", or "lucky"
  • size (int) — font size
  • color (str)
  • x, y (float) — position coordinates

• canvas.draw_line(x1, y1, x2, y2, color)
  Draw a line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) with specified color.

• canvas.get_mouse_pos()
  Returns the current mouse position relative to the window as an (x, y) tuple.

• canvas.run()
  Opens the window and starts rendering your shapes and text. This blocks until you close the window.

• canvas.clear()
  Clears the window content (fill with black). You can call this between frames.

Example

import canvas

canvas.init()
canvas.load_fonts()

canvas.draw_circle(50, "red", "white", 3, 100, 100)
canvas.draw_rectangle(80, 120, "blue", "yellow", 5, 200, 150)
canvas.draw_text("Hello Canvas!", "roboto", 24, "cyan", 50, 30)

canvas.run()

Happy drawing! 🎨✨
