Makelangelo-software VS canvas-sketch

I have made and exported SVGs from turtletoy. I've also written some SVG export stuff in Makelangelo software.

Makelangelo software loads a lot of SVG and can output Gcode for plotters. Try the latest nightly build: https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Makelangelo-software/releases/tag/Nightly

I use Java with IntelliJ. I used it for Makelangelo Software and I used it for Robot Overlord. I like that it's cross platform and I love how comfortable I am with the language. Technology is fast and people are slow... I've been doing this since before ROS/Unity. To switch now sounds painful. Still... I'm trying to learn Unity and it has some fun features.

...a 3rd party which uses the library to describe an implementation of the service: https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Makelangelo-software

doh, forgot to link: https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Robot-Overlord-App/ is the big one I want to collab with others. https://github.com/marginallyclever/makelangelo-software/ for plotters is already taking off and doesn't need me to push it out of the nest any more.

I have two projects that I've been moving from java 8 to java 15. The first, https://github.com/marginallyclever/makelangelo-software/, has moved with minimal fuss. The second, https://github.com/marginallyclever/Robot-overlord-app, set up in the same way (maven) with as few changes in structure as possible... won't debug. The exact error is

I believe mattdesl/canvas-sketch has some tools to help export a p5 sketch as svg. I haven't used it for that purpose yet but if I was going to try it, this is where I would start.

I know people have gotten p5 to run in canvas-sketch and that canvas-sketch has the capability to output svg

The basics: I generated this plot via a program I wrote. That program was written in Javascript, using the p5.js library for drawing lines and stuff, and canvas-sketch to generate the SVG for plotting. I passed the SVG through vpype to merge & sort the lines, and then connected to the AxiDraw using saxi. Not knowing where you're at, those are a good choice to get started—Javascript is an okay language, and p5.js is really good for just getting stuff appearing on the page. And you can just start with the first 2, and add vpype and saxi later.

Yep! Using it wrapped with Matt DesLauriers' canvas-sketch, which I've found really useful for local development, especially exporting.

With canvas-sketch[1] you hit a keystroke when you see a generation you like, and it runs git commit, captures a print resolution output, and exports it as a file tagged with git hash and optional PRNG seed suffix. This way you can reproduce exactly a generative artwork from years ago, without the hassle of manual git/shell commands, and with any file/image viewer.

Another way to get svgs out of p5js is to use canvas-sketch (https://github.com/mattdesl/canvas-sketch) but i have been having a few other issues with that and haven't integrated it into my workflow yet.

If you want to get your hands dirty, I'd recommend canvas-sketch by MattDesl. It's a nice all-in-one package for a sort of 'visual REPL'.

Previously, I used canvas-sketch which is also really nice.

Made with canvas-sketch (highly recommended - it makes exporting GIFs a piece of cake)
