For my project, I picked up an old project of mine which generated childrens’-story-esque faces. I worked on this before becoming familiar with Shapely, so I had hadn’t implemented any sort of filling. I brought this old code from JavaScript to python and converted everything into Shapely geometries. Below is some documentation from the old project.
With my work last week figuring out how to plot on the USCutter MH871-MK2, I figured it would be lovely to generate and plot human-sized figures.
The hair and shoes are filled with simple hatching, but the shirt has a pattern build out of Hershey fonts. Using this python hershey font library, I randomly choose symbol characters and place them between arrangements of {}, /\, or two opposite-facing integral symbols. I use shapely to crop all the fills to their respective polygons. Below is a gif containing a few generated .svg’s
