Latest experiments into generating flowers using context free. 0.05 fine liner on acid free paper.

I've seen a lot of generative art animations here since the big bird migration and wanted to try my hand at one. Here is the binary kite looped instead of plotted.

I'm sure this pattern has been used often before but I enjoyed this variation based on my 10 PRINT code.
Plotted on A5 using 0.05 fine liner on Roland DPX 3300 using custom pen holder.

Another variation on 10 PRINT in cfdg. Gel ink on A4.

Variations on a theme, more binary kites but this time hold on black. There is potential for something very organic and plant-like in this pattern.

Tonight's plot is white on black and a tribute to the "binary kite" example from structure synth.

Variations on a theme. I'm experimenting with different ways of using this base shape. This is a more structured way of organising it inspired by my recent work on "10 PRINT"

Finished an A2 plot with three passes today. It's a homage to the classic "10 PRINT" with some added probability for skipping symbols.

startshape Loop

n = 59
m = 42

shape Loop {
loop i = n [x 1]
loop j = m [y 1]
if (rand() < (i/n + j/m)/2) Glyph []
}

shape Glyph
rule { l [] }
rule { l [f 90 x 1] }

path l {
LINETO(1, 1)
STROKE []
}

Finally worked up the courage to do a big plot. This is A2 (or slightly bigger) of the following context free grammar:

startshape Fan

shape Fan {
CIRCLE [s 2 b 0.9]
loop i = 15 [] {
P(i, 1) []
P(i, 1) [r 120]
}
}

shape P(i, d) {
l(i, d) []
l(i, d) [f 0]
}

path l(i, d) {
MOVETO(cos(180), sin(180))
LINETO(cos(d * (0.5 + i)), sin(d * (0.5 + i)))
STROKE(0.001) []
}

I used the 3D printed pen holder I designed with a gel ink pen and it does layer up pretty thick some places. There's a lot of learning to be done here although I actually quite like the imperfections of the media. There are also some errors in the HPGL export in #Inkscape that I will have to investigate.
