Created a browser tool for adding "filters" to SVG files. Drop in any SVG and stack any of 33 effects on it, kaleidoscope, twirl, flow warp, crosshatch, shatter, glitch, etc. Then export plotter-ready SVG or HPGL! Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded. drawingbots.com/tools/svg-ef… #plottertwitter #vector #algorithms

122 algorithms behind pen #plotter art, each with a live demo you can run, reseed, and read the source of. Flow fields, Voronoi stippling, Hilbert curves, differential growth, TSP path ordering, dithering, polygon clipping… Free, in the browser: drawingbots.com/algorithms

Fancy making a single line font for CNC machines?
Launched a single stroke font editor and creator: drawingbots.com/tools/stroke… These fonts can be used with CNC machines like plotters or laser cutters, and enable some interesting use cases on the web as well. Enjoy and share! #plottertwitter

Introducing `vsvg-sketch`, a new #rust-based interactive sketch environment for #plottertwitter #generativeart. It's like #vsketch, but in Rust, so: - faaast - (soon) web ready (via wasm) - based on a faster to develop stack (#egui + #wgpu) Still WIP, but already usable! 🚀

This week I built a BrachioGraph. It's a simple pen plotter, driven by a Raspberry Pi and some Python code. { author: @andypiper } #DEVCommunity dev.to/andypiper/getting-art…

I started to port to #vsketch as many sketches as possible from @Jean_no's beautiful '<=280' book. As an homage, to make it plottable, and to serve as #vsketch examples. ➡️github.com/abey79/le280-vske… Contributions from lucky book owners are welcome! #plottertwitter #generative

I just updated PINTR javier.xyz/pintr/ with line opacity support and extended configuration ranges. When I made PINTR I thought of it as "computer generated art". It doesn't feel like that anymore. It feels like some manually nested loops. I still like it.
