Generative art and graphing library for creating images and animations.
3D drawing is likely to change in a future release. The rest of the library is reasonably stable.
- Switched to date based versioning
- Add parametric plots to the graph module
- Allow The Turtle class to accept a list of colours, and cycle through the list as the turtle draws a path.
- Update geometry.Transform class to use generativepy matrix order rather than PyCairo matrix order.
- Add unit matrix to math module
generativepy is a library rather an application. It provides useful functions and example code that allow you to create images and videos by writing simple Python scripts.
The library requires:
- pycairo.
- NumPy.
- Pillow.
- easy_vector.
- moderngl (only required for 3D imaging).
- MoviePy
- Command line application gifsicle (only needed for GIF creation).
- Commandline applications latex and divpng
Main functionality:
- A simple framework for creating images, image sequences, and gifs, using pycairo.
- Support for bitmap processing using PIL and NumPy.
- Colour module that supports RGB, HSL and CSS colours, transparency, lerping, colormaps.
- A simple tweening module to help with animation.
- Geometry module for drawing shapes.
- A graphing library for plotting 2D functions.
- MovieBuilder supports creating video files from separate scenes.
- Latex formula rendering
- 3D geometry module using moderngl.
- Math modules for vectors, matrices and abstract shapes.
