I experimented with Python drawing tools for the first time. Since vpype is much more modular than p5.js, I was able to tap into my existing python knowledge. In particular, using Numpy’s ndarrays made programming incredibly easy. Furthermore, I also used Shapely’s clipping function to crop my work into the grid cells. My use of matrix operations, particularly in the third row, were surprising and unintended. The rotation transformations were relative to each line’s centroid, and as a result, the hatching looks like a plane with depth. Some of the drawbacks of shapely, is that many of the p5.js primitives I was used to using, were not available to me and I had to implement them myself.
