### Example of using the method in a script for Drawbot

# import the method from hexToRgb.py (have hexToRgb.py in the same folder as your script)
# alternatively, you can also just include the whole method in your code
from hex2rgb import hex2rgb

# have a hex color in mind (works with or without the # sign)
myHex = "#2F3137"

# use an asterisk to feed the tuple (R,G,B) result in place of any usual drawbot color value

Spacing Tests!

Some useful strings and tools to use in spacing and kerning type.

Paul Barnes: "There should be the international standard of spacing tests," and recommended this:

(Text wasn't directly given, so this is what I remember).

Useful to adapt slightly as needed, but it's helpful that it's a simple, brief set of tests.
