genart

Generative art for the rest of us. This is an attempt to create a nice api for creating generative art. Built on top of a modified Paper.js to run on node.js.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install -g genart

Generate some art!

genart -i path/to/examples/circles.js -o ~/genart.png

Running that will produce a png similar to the following:

Documentation

Since genart is simply extending paper.js, take a look at the paper.js docs for more details.

More docs coming soon.

Examples

The extensions can be seen in this example:

var circle = new canvas.Path.Circle([0, 0], 50)
	.set({
		fillColor: 'red',
		strokeColor: 'green',
		strokeWidth: 2,
		opacity: 0.2,
		blendMode: 'overlay'
	})
	.nthChild('15n', function() {
		this.fillColor = 'yellow';
	})
	.nthChild('6n', function() {
		this.scale(0.5);
	})
	.tile();
