Pretty vector graphics - Playing with SVG in Python
summary
Generates SVG by building text rather than using high-level libraries, with string manipulation to produce lines, rectangles, circles, arcs and complex paths; uses Pillow for pixel reading to drive quadrant-average color subdivision; experiments include a Markov color model, circle packing, a 12-point approximation using 12 cubic curves approximating a circle, a tree drawn with HSL fading, logistic-map mountains, and a double pendulum that initially fails then succeeds; outputs can be CSS-animated, laser-engraved, and sometimes explode into huge file sizes.
