This project is the starting point for creating algorithmic SVGs to be plotted on an 8 1/2 x 11 surface. Click the Use this template button on GitHub to start.
From there, you can download your new project to your local machine, install the necessary file, and start the project.
npm install
npm run dev
Look for the src file in the starter-svg.js directory. This is where most of your code will be written. You can copy this to a new file or just write over the contents of the file itself. I've left in a bunch of other starter files I've created that might be of help to you, also.
In the main.js file, you can change which file the project will reference. Look for the following import statement and update the filename if you've created a new Javascript file for your creation.
import { svgGenerator } from './starter-svg.js';
You will probably also want to update your project name using the projectTitle variable.
const projectTitle = "Starter SVG";
George Francis has published a wonderful Generative Utilities set of functions that I use. I've updated a couple of the functions I use in my projects. If you want to check out my updates, change the following line in the package.json file. (I've got a pull request in for these updates, but they may not align with what George wants to do with his repo.)
From:
"@georgedoescode/generative-utils": "^1.0.38",
To:
"@georgedoescode/generative-utils": "github:johnfmorton/generative-utils#johnfmorton-patch-for-points-in-path",
This project uses SVG.js to make the SVG creation easier.
The settings panel uses Shoelace web components.
I hope you find it useful. If you have questions, send me a public message on Threads. Thanks! -John
