README for autoshapes
====================

Autoshapes are a couple of simple and more or less useful plugins for
sketch which simplify to draw some common figures: arrows, stars,
cylinders, cubes, ... . It is similar to what they have in word and
powerpoint.

Note on Usage
-------------

The "angle" and "star" objects are bit non intuitive: they also
respond to '+' and '-' key-strokes.


Installation
------------

The installation is just the standart procedure for Plugin objects. It
can be system-wide or for a single user.

For a system wide installation simply copy all files to the Plugin
directory of your sketch installation. On my computer, this is
# cd autoshapes-0-1
# cd -r * /usr/local/lib/sketch-0.6.13/Plugins/Objects/

For a user installation move the directory autoshapes-0-1 wherever you
like, and add it to your plugin path. This is described in the sketch
manual. Basically you need to add the following line to your
userhooks.py file (if you don't have the file consult the manual)

import Sketch.config
import os
Sketch.config.plugin_path.append(os.path.expanduser("~/.sketch/autoshapes"))

If all goes well, the autoshape objects should be listed un the sketch
menu under "Edit->Create->".
