Polargraph
From TSAS Library
A Polargraph (capital "P") was invented by Sandy Noble, aka euphy.[1]
We recently 3D printed a version of it, a "POLAR DRAWBOT" by Thingiverse user daGHIZmo.
Vector Sources
- Plotterfun takes an image and renders it as a plottable SVG. Lots of algorithms!
- Slopes renders a stacked wave plot similar to that famous Joy Division album cover
Polargraph Gallery
Here are some pictures it has drawn. More information to come!
