    [beta] A framework for making generative artwork in JavaScript and the browser.

    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.

  • p5.js

    p5.js is a client-side JS platform that empowers artists, designers, students, and anyone to learn to code and express themselves creatively on the web. It is based on the core principles of Processing. http://twitter.com/p5xjs —

  • rbush

    RBush — a high-performance JavaScript R-tree-based 2D spatial index for points and rectangles

    There's been 2 downsides with this approach, though. First is that I haven't found any good Javascript libraries for geometry—there are bits and pieces, but nothing good for questions like "what are the intersection points of these 2 circles". So I've been slowly cobbling together my own, and it's working okay. I'm still hoping that there's one out there, and I either haven't found it, or haven't realized it meets my needs. On the plus side, there are a *lot* of JS libraries for different data structures that are helpful—for instance, I used rbush to really speed up finding line intersections on the full graph of what I plotted. I'll use that to find polygons, and the long lines that snake across the whole image.
