CMUG Install Instructions

Only tested on VSCode *

• Install the CMU Graphics library from their website: CMU Graphics Download.
• Move the folder titled cmu_graphcis into the directory with your python file that imports it.
  • Don't forget to add it to your .gitignore!
• Add from cmu_graphics import * to the top of the python file.
• At the bottom of your file, add a function called runApp() with the keyword arguments width and height. These will define the width and height of your window.
• All of your code that will be drawn must be inside of a function called redrawAll(). It takes a single argument, app.

---

Notes:

• All shape functions (Rect, Polygon, etc.) are replaced with drawRect, drawPolygon, etc.
• If your project throws an error that ends with a message about a module named 'pygame', initialize and activiate a .venv and run pip install pygame in the command line.

---

This is an example of what your file should look like:

from cmu_graphics import *

def redrawAll(app):
    exampleShape: Rect = drawRect(
        100,100,
        100,100,
        fill=gradient("white","black", start="right")
    )

    exampleLabel: Label = drawLabel(
        'Jello, World!',
        120,350,
        size=41,
        fill='cornflowerBlue',
        font='arial'
    )

app.title = "My Super Awesome Example Program"

runApp(
    width=400,
    height=400
)

This is what your file structure should look like:

| DIRECTORY_NAME  
 \| cmu_graphics  
  | main.py
