# konstrukt
A simple commandline tool to generate SVGs roughly fitting the area of [concrete art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_art).
## Getting started
The `konstrukt` binary can be downloaded from [releases](https://github.com/MarcelMue/konstrukt/releases) section of this repository.
It is contained together with the [LICENSE](LICENSE) in a `.tar.gz` or `.zip` depending on the target operating system.
You can interact with `konstrukt` through your native [command line interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface).
If you are unfamiliar with a command line then these examples should give you some guidance:
Using Windows
First download the latest `.zip` release from the [releases](https://github.com/MarcelMue/konstrukt/releases) page.
Unzip the archived files in a location of your choice (e.g. your `Downloads` folder).
Open a command line of your choice (e.g. `cmd.exe`).
Navigate tp the location of the unpacked `konstrukt` binary (e.g. `cd C:\Users\SomeUser\Downloads`).
Display the help text of `konstrukt` by calling it without arguments (`konstrukt.exe`).
The output should look like this:
```
Command line tool for generating konstruktive art.
Usage:
konstrukt [flags]
konstrukt [command]
Available Commands:
gen Generate files.
help Help about any command
Flags:
-h, --help help for konstrukt
Use "konstrukt [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
Now you should be able to experiment with the usage examples below just remember to use `konstrukt.exe`!
Using Linux/MacOS
First download the correct `.tar.gz` release depending on your operating system from the [releases](https://github.com/MarcelMue/konstrukt/releases) page.
Unpack the `.tar.gz` in a location of your choice (e.g. your `Downloads` folder).
Open a terminal of your choice.
Navigate to the location of the unpacked `konstrukt` binary (e.g. `cd ~/Downloads`).
Display the help text of `konstrukt` by calling it without arguments (`./konstrukt`).
The output should look like this:
```
Command line tool for generating konstruktive art.
Usage:
konstrukt [flags]
konstrukt [command]
Available Commands:
gen Generate files.
help Help about any command
Flags:
-h, --help help for konstrukt
Use "konstrukt [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
Now you should be able to experiment with the usage examples below!
## Usage
All commands allow for the following flags:
```
--filename string Name of the output file.
--height int Height of the output file in pixels. (default 500)
-h, --help help
--randomize Randomize all colors in the pattern, ignore other color flags.
--width int Width of the output file in pixels. (default 500)
```
Other flags for coloring patterns can be explored in the individual usage examples below.

## Guidelines
Additions to this project should follow these guidelines:
- Patterns should be repeatable and scaleable.
- Patterns should be constant across the generated SVG (e.g. no convex pattern).
- All patterns should be made up of low count polygons (no curves or similar).
- Accurate citation should be given if a pattern was inspired by an artwork or artist.
