Scriptographer

If you are looking into ways of ensuring Adobe Illustrator is tailored to your needs, turning to plugins is the way to go. One example in this regard is Scriptographer, an open-source software utility that does just that by making the most of the JavaScript language.

Being able to provide valuable help in creating mouse-controlled drawing tools as well as various effects whose purpose is to make adjustments to existing functionality, Scriptographer is also capable of building new graphics with the help of its integrated scripts.

In other words, you can enjoy Adobe Illustrator’s capabilities, but unlike other fellow professionals, you are no longer limited to the resources it puts at your disposal, and making your work stand out from the crowd is one step closer.

It should also be said that three different packages form the Scriptographer API, namely the Adobe Illustrator package, the user interface package, and last but not least the Scriptographer package. While the first includes all the Adobe Illustrator functionality you may require, the second comprises classes and functions that are suitable when trying to create GUI that have no issue integrating with Adobe’s software. As for the Scriptographer package, it allows you to work with Adobe Illustrator, scripts, handle preferences, and much more.
