Группа выше: Алгоритмическое и программное искусство
Смысл: The main idea is to demonstrate the power of programmatic vector graphics via MetaPost for creating high-quality, flexible, and automated technical illustrations, contrasting this with manual drawing tools.
The author shares a method for automating hundreds of technical physics illustrations using MetaPost, creating a reusable library for complex programmatic shapes and textures.
Смысл: The text is a technical retrospective on using programmatic typesetting (ConTeXt and MetaPost) to modernize a visually unique historical mathematical text, demonstrating how code can automate complex visual references and decorative elements more efficiently than manual graphic design.
The author used MetaPost and ConTeXt to programmatically recreate Oliver Byrne's visually-driven version of Euclid's Elements, including a Russian translation and procedurally generated ornaments.
Смысл: The main idea is that technical skills in programming can be used to bridge the gap in artistic ability, specifically by automating the stylization of formal technical diagrams into a more organic, 'hand-drawn' aesthetic using JS libraries and SVG parsing.
A developer created INSTAD.IO, a tool that uses RoughJS to automatically convert rigid SVG diagrams into friendly, hand-drawn sketches.
