Path Helper

Path Helper

In Progress

Path Helper is an expansive tool designed to simplify and enhance the creation of path-based plotter art. As the quantity of my plotter work increased, I needed a reusable way to handle common tasks like drawing basic shapes and applying transformations.

To address this, I developed a JavaScript Libray and published it on Node Package Manager. This library streamlines repetitive operations, enabling artists to focus more on the creative aspects of their projects. By abstracting these foundational functions, I also created an opportunity to share these tools with others in the community, while keeping the unique aspects of my artwork private. I see this as a meaningful balance between contributing to open-source resources and respecting the individuality of artistic works.

If you're curious or want to contribute, please explore the GitHub repository for more details. I hope this tool inspires new possibilities for creativity!
