spyrograph is a lightweight Python package that provides an expressive and flexible set of tools for drawing beautiful mathematically driven art. With just a few lines of easy-to-read code you can start analyzing, visualizing, and exploring elegant mathematics
- Expressive and consistent syntax
- Robust underlying mathematics
- Beginner and expert friendly
numpyis the only required third-party installation- Clear visualizations and animations
- Flexible to a wide range of usecases
- Lightweight, just plug and play
Install the latest stable release from PyPI using
$ pip3 install spyrographor clone the development version from GitHub with
$ git clone https://github.com/chris-greening/spyrograph.gitspyrograph is designed to be expressive and easy-to-use - simply import spyrograph and jump right into drawing elegant, complex shapes in just a few lines of code!
from spyrograph import Hypotrochoid
# Trace a hypotrochoid from 0 to 2pi where
# the fixed circle radius is 300, rolling circle
# radius is 200, and the distance from the rolling
# circle is 100
hypotrochoid = Hypotrochoid(
R=300,
r=200,
d=100,
thetas=np.arange(0, 2*np.pi, .1)
)
hypotrochoid.trace(
show_circles=True,
frame_pause=.05,
circle_color="grey"
