API Reference 📚#

Quickstart 🚀#

Start drawing a quick sketch in your notebook like this

from ipysketch_lite import Sketch

sketch = Sketch()

Then add a new cell to retrieve the sketch data in python

sketch.data # Sketch image data as a base64 encoded string
sketch.image # PIL Image of the sketch
example sketch

Sketch data gets updated in cells after the sketch is modified. This means you can edit your sketch and get the new updated outputs
