# Generative-Art
I have only tested this on Ubuntu 20.04.
A selection of generative art scripts written in Python with the intention of using my AxiDraw to plot them onto paper.
This project has evolved into a small python package which has functions and classes, which I reuse in other scripts and saves me writing the same code over and over again. It also includes basic tool for generating scripts and doing basic tasks that I do on a regular basis.
This is really built for my own personal use and is a constantly evolving project, but I thought people may enjoy / be interested in it, so that is why I am making it public.
You can get these scripts without the python module integration by cloning the 0.1.1 tag, go here: https://github.com/JakobGlock/Generative-Art/tree/0.1.1
### Setup
These scripts have been made using Python 3.8.2
Install some dependencies, on Linux this very simple you just run the following command in a terminal window:
`sudo apt install python-cairo libcairo2-dev`
Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:
```
cd /to/the/repo/directory/on/your/computer/Generative-art
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
You will also need to install some packages for Python which can be done using the following command:
`pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
### Running Scripts
You can use the generate tool to run the scripts, to get more information run the following command:
`./generate --help`
To generate an artwork:
`./generate artwork new Line_Grid.py`
To generate the same artwork, but 10 of them and in SVG format:
`./generate artwork new Line_Grid.py -n 10 --svg`
This will save 10 files in SVG format into the `Images/Line_Grid` folder, see `./generate --help` for more options and information.
To create a new script/project, run the following command:
`./generate project new my_cool_script.py`
This will create a basic script from a template file to get you started.
### Sample Images
#### Circular
#### Line_Grid
#### Line_Walker
#### Magnetic_Flow
#### Mosaic_Circles
#### Parallel_Lines
#### Vertical_Lines
