I am new to geomerative.  The tutorials look like a great start, but basic terms and concepts are sparsely defined.  I want to use an SVG drawing that I created in Inkscape.  Once the SVG file has been loaded, I want to be able to specify nodes along the contours of paths (if I am using the correct terminology) and draw dots there.  How would the polygonizer aid in this process?  Can more of the theory behind geomerative be discussed?

I want to connect three bezier curves together (e.g. curve A's end point is curve B's begin point and curve B's end point is curve C's begin point).  Once programmed in, I would like to use

Bezier Point

to find a point located some distance along the second curve and display a small circle around it.

If this does not work, would the geomerative library possibly supply a solution (and could I see example code)?

Thanks,
Craig

Hello,

    I wish to simulate thread being looped around nails.  I believe this requires a solution to something that in mathematics circles as the "circle-circle tangent problem" (see MathWorld ).  To get a solution to this problem, it is necessary to solve some simultaneous equations (see web page).  Can I be referred to a processing or a java library to help with this?

       Thank you.

Hello:

String art was very popular during the 1970's. It involves pounding nails into a wood board at certain intervals, then winding string(s) around the nails to achieve an artistic effect. A video that demonstrates the making of a string art piece is given by this link: string art video.  For pictures of string art works, click on the following link: string art images.

I am interested in converting clip art to string art patterns.  The clip art would supply curves, and then I would need to mark positions for nails along the curves.  Finally, I would care to simulate the weaving of thread around the nails.  Any code snippets to facilitate this process would be appreciated.

Thank you.
