Reference and examples

This is the full list of commands available in Shoebot. For a more technical outline of the Shoebot API, see the API reference.

Many parts of this reference were adapted from the original Nodebox documentation by Frederik de Bleser and Tom de Smedt.

Note that most examples here are drawn on a 100x100 size for simplicity; the Shoebot default is 300x300px.
