glyph

glyph is a package for making generative art. It contains functions to produce various styles of "glyphs", as described in these blog posts. To understand better, see the examples or instructions. The package can be used by calling the main functions (orbit(), summon(), orbit_glitch()), or by using the Rstudio addin to launch a graphical user interface where you can adjust parameters, generate glyphs, and download the images.

Installation

glyph only lives on GitHub, you can install it with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("will-r-chase/glyph")

Example

Here I will show three basic examples of producing glyphs by code. See the instructions for further explanation, and give the GUI addin a try.

library(glyph)

#First, make a basic orbital glyph
orbit(seed_probs = c(0.3, 0.5, 0.1, 0.1), planet_probs = c(0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2), pareto2_prob = c(0.3, 0.7))

#Next try making a 'summoning circle' glyph
summon()

#Finally, how about glitched glyph
orbit_glitch(glitch_type = "shattered")

#you can save plots with ggsave()
