how do i start using paper.js

[Rob SaysHello]

Hi im coming to this from scriptographer and Illustrator CC

I dont understand how to start using the scripts in html.

i have illustrator files and i want to use the script that picks up average colour from shape.

how do i use paper.js to do this?

simply, because ive spent an hour or so trying with the tutorials and cant figure anything out.

cheers

Getting the average color should be pretty simple using a raster object.

Create the raster object.

var raster = new Raster('/images/mona.jpg');

raster.fitBounds(view.bounds, true);

Get the average color

raster.getAverageColor(view.bounds);

You can set the average color to a variable and then use that color how you would like.

var newAverageColor = raster.getAverageColor(view.bounds);

I'm not sure how relevant it is for your particular case, but I've come across a quite concise introductory tutorial about Paper.js.

You might give it a try: http://andyshora.com/easy-paper-js-tutorial.html
