starcli VS vsketch

1. StarCLI

The frames' vector data is generated using a sketch made with my vsketch framework (it involves loading GeoJSON data, processing it with Shapely, and projecting it in 3D with NumPy).

There isn't a GUI, but that's by design. The CLI format facilitates the integration in automated workflows. The show command does provide a viewer for visualisation at any point in the pipeline. Also, I have another framework (based on vpype) named vsketch which is a plotter-centric python clone of Processing with a viewer and live refresh.

Matplotlib for plotter stuff seems tedious indeed ! Definitly check out vsketch, it has an API similar to processing, but focused on generating plotter-ready SVG.

I started by using Processing, but have switched to [vsketch](https://github.com/abey79/vsketch), a Python-based framework which has a similar API to Processing. I like it because it has built-in UI for changing parameters, which I find hugely useful. Plus, it integrates with vpype, which is designed for image processing for plotters.
