Thread 460805

I want to make cool geometry shapes, where do I start

>paper
>regular pencil
>compass w/ pencil
>ruler

Draw a circle with the compass, without changing the radulius put the point anywhere on the circle outline and then draw another circle.
Move the point to one of the two points where the second circle crosses the first, make another circle then keep repeating that process and you'll get second row on the left. Use the ruler to make lines connecting all the crossing points of the circles and you get top right.

Change the radius of the compass to the various lengths of the various line lengths you've made and more shapes emerge.

Geogebra for starters but it doesn't generate any good format.
Personally I think traces of mechanism are more interesting than geometric constructions.

Cavalry is an awesome free tool that has these capabilities through the duplicator, Anon.

I use C++ and GLFW for animations
but from what you're showing us it seems you want to use an svg editor with scripts/libraries for math

I use Qcad to make DXF files I then convert to svg for colour and shit. There is version of qcad made specifically for geometry creativity by Scott Onstott and he provides a video course on using it. He just calls it Q.

Drawing made are dxf files, which can be opened in Inkscape or illustrator for further development as svgs.

You don't have to buy it, it's exactly same program as community qcad, you can use that.
Onstott just adapted it for ease of use, aimed specifically at creativity and geometry, plus made a very good video teaching series on how to use it.

BTW there are some outrageously priced "Sacred Geometry" apps out there preying on the trend. Onstotts is actually the best one and the cheapest.
