# genart

Generative art for the rest of us. This is an attempt to create a nice api for creating generative art. Built on top of a modified [Paper.js](https://github.com/paperjs/paper.js) to run on node.js.

## Getting Started

Install the module with: `npm install -g genart`

Generate some art!

```

genart -i path/to/examples/circles.js -o ~/genart.png

```

Running that will produce a png similar to the following:

![circles.js result](http://cleverchris.com/genart.png)

## Documentation

Since genart is simply extending paper.js, take a look at the [paper.js docs](http://paperjs.org/reference/) for more details.

_More docs coming soon._

## Examples

The extensions can be seen in this example:

```javascript

var circle = new canvas.Path.Circle([0, 0], 50)

	.set({

		fillColor: 'red',

		strokeColor: 'green',

		strokeWidth: 2,

		opacity: 0.2,

		blendMode: 'overlay'

	})

	.nthChild('15n', function() {

		this.fillColor = 'yellow';

	})

	.nthChild('6n', function() {

		this.scale(0.5);

	})

	.tile();

```
