Plotter Art Generation Suite

The source code is available on GitHub

A collection of art generators that can export SVGs. I purchased an AxiDraw V3 and it's been a lot of fun. Feel free to use these generators to make your own art. Running it requires you to have Rust installed. To export SVGs, set the SVG_EXPORT_DIRECTORY environment variable (you can create an .env file in the project root to set this as well).

Generators

Line Groups

Run it with this command: cargo run release --bin line_groups

Groups of wavy lines overlaid on top of each other at regular intervals

The first one I created for this project. It generates groups of lines that look neat. It can also look similar to a ridgeline plot.

Maze

Run it with this command: cargo run release --bin maze

An unsolvable maze

Based on the classic maze BASIC program.

Dune

Run it with this command: cargo run release --bin dune

A series of regularly spaced triangles that, together, have the appearance of a sand dune

A naïve recreation of Sohan Murthy's Continuity Correction that ended up going in a new direction.

I had a link to Sohan's page here, but it broke and I can't find the original artwork anymore.

Line Noise

Run it with this command: cargo run release --bin line_noise

A cloud of short horizontal lines
