generative-art-in-go VS canvas

Based off new code I'm writing, derived from https://github.com/preslavrachev/generative-art-in-go

The code should eventually make it to my GitHub repo.

I will. It would be a shame if it’s not there already. I wrote an entire book using gg alone, so I thought it must something that everyone was aware of it.

Let me start. My name is Preslav and I am a software developer / entrepreneur who has been passionate about generative art since 2011. I first started working with Processing, but discovering Go as part of my work was the thing that rekindled my passion. So much that I wrote a book about it at the start of the year; https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

A sketch painted by a genetic algorithm written in Go. The learning will make it into a future chapter of my book, Generative Art in Go: https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

I am working on new bonus chapters for my "Generative Art in Go" book and this part will most likely make it in a future update. Another likely candidate are genetic drawing algorithms (I promise to do a separate teaser on those :))

I’ve recently twittern and self-published a book that I put together entirely in Obsidian: https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

I wanted to share a recent large update to https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas, which is a vector graphics library written in Go to create images, PDFs, SVGs, OpenGL, etc. using vector drawing operations. Especially I wanted to show two new exciting features:

It appears that there's a port of Cairo to Go which also targets webassembly. https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas

https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas/blob/master/examples/opengl/main.go can draw primitves but i think it would be a bit hard to do event based animation

Yes! See https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas/tree/master/examples/gonum-plot for an example using gonum-plot. You should be able to plug-and-play to use the canvas library!
