== Shoebot from the console ==<br>
<br>
Shoebot parses scripts written in the Nodebox/Drawbot language and<br>
creates image output from those instructions. Running Shoebot scripts<br>
through the console is straightforward: &nbsp; &nbsp;sbot &lt;yourscript.bot&gt; -o<br>
&lt;outputfile&gt;<br>
<br>
You can specify the type of image through the output file extension:<br>
<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics)<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* .ps (PostScript)<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* .pdf (Portable Document Format)<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* .png (Portable Network Graphics)<br>
<br>
Shoebot will automagically generate the appropriate output from the<br>
extension you specify.<br>
For instance, to output the primitives.bot example to an SVG file, type:<br>
 &nbsp; sbot /usr/share/shoebot/examples/primitives.bot -o test.svg<br>
<br>
This is Shoebot&#39;s &#39;oneshot mode&#39;. However, see also:<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* WindowedMode<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* Shoebot IDE<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* Socketserver - control your scripts from external sources<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;* Python Module - run Shoebot from inside your Python scripts<br>

<br>
<br>
It&#39;s written in Ruby, and shouldn&#39;t be so hard to sugarize... are<br>
there any other fine Ruby programs that have jumped the XO?<br>
A ruby emulator bundled with Hackety Hack lessons also seems like an<br>
excellent idea.<br>
