Ronin is a <b>procedural graphics tool</b> designed to automate simple graphical tasks, like resizing, cropping, coloring, and generating algorithmic images. It interprets a minimal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="external ">dialect of LISP</a>, look at these <a href="https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Ronin/tree/master/examples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="external ">examples</a> to better understand how this all works.

The library updates is constantly revealing new applications to Ronin, you can see the list of available functions <a href="https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Ronin#library" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="external ">here</a>. Most of our iconography and designs were created with both <a href="https://hundredrabbits.itch.io/Ronin" target="_blank">Ronin</a> and <a href="https://hundredrabbits.itch.io/dotgrid">Dotgrid</a>.

## Helpers

Ronin helpers are keywords that facilitates adding coordinates from the canvas into your script. The currently supported helpers are `$rect`, `$pos`, `$circle`, `$line`, `$drag` and `$view`. Holding right-click while using a $helper will run the script as the mouse is injecting coordinates into the script. Paste the following script, and trace a shape in the canvas:

```lisp
; draw a red circle
(fill $circle "red")
```
