their usefulness is largely dependent on how much you use Javascript. if you use JavaScript on a (near) daily basis, a framework can save a lot of time, and after you learn to use it the code for less simple things can be more readable. but it takes some time to get used to a framework, so if you are not using js a lot, you probably won't make that time back before the framework you learned is out of date, or the world realizes that it has some design flaw.

also, more seriously: javascript frameworks tend to be a pain because of how much paving over they usually have to do. react is really nice to work with, but it takes a bunch of layers of dumb stuff to get it to work in all browsers. preact is much faster and simpler just from throwing away some compatibility - in the future it's imaginable that we'll get back to being able to compile and run things a bit more sanely while keeping the benefits of web frameworks, but right now you need to stand on this giant tower of webpack, babel, npm, and etc in order to get the full benefits of the current most featureful, active, and quick-to-write-code-in ui ecosystems. I'm really excited about the future of react hook style apis, though, and I'm hopeful for the day that something like that is easy to do with a similar level of compatibility but without the tie to a particular language or environment.

Pulled my Silhouette Cameo from its dark hiding place yesterday, sitting there as a dustr trap since 2014. Cut some vinyl stickers for my moped with it, now this shows up in my recommended feed. Going to try the squiggles on some reflective vinyl, using a pointy piece of wood in the pen mount.. Btw, on the plotter, you could add double cuts for gradients, using a pencil instead of a ballpoint pen. In 2013, I did a full colour print with a plotter, of a cell shaded scene on A4. If you heard some inexplainable cursing in Dutch that year, that was because of that.. Spent 3 weeks on 1 A4, iirc 11-12 tries. Also, if you can plot again, try pencils in the penholder. Scan a written letter, see how good it translates onto a copy.. Took some tries but at the end, looked exactly like the original..

My father used to make vinyl signs (big lettering) - and I wrote a program to do the trick of cutting horizontal strips of varying width depending on image density. Result was a vinyl cut that you could stick on a store-front window at massive size. Seen from a distance, it looked like a photo - but when you got close to it, it barely blocked your view of the product on display behind the window. I went on to make vinyl cuts with dots of varying sizes and other stuff like that. It made him a good deal of money about 30 years ago.

A 3d printer with a pen works pretty damn well as a plotter too (well, technically it's closer to a laser cutter), with the caveat that you need to speak GCODE to it and for the best results, you probably need one that you can reflash the firmware to as the G2 Arc command is usually disabled by default. The Inkscape plugin to turn paths to Gcode is called "J Tech Photonics Laser Tool".

One of the most difficult things to get right is turning photographs into what appear to be hand engraved line art without spending a fortune on commercial photoshop add ons. Or making photos look hand drawn. I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to turn this into a photoshop filter, or even better an Illustrator filter. For now I will be experimenting importing SVG and layering different results.

Amazing when they ran at full, blistering speed, impossible to follow with your eyes unless it was drawing long lines. Unfortunately they only took these rare, HP-specific pens, and even new-old stock in mylar envelopes were dried up. A 3D printer would have been a lifesaver, as it had 7 bays for different colors that could have been amazing.

На швейном предприятии стоял широкий старый плоттер 1986 года с чернильницей. И однажды когда я менял банку с чернилами без замены стержня (отсоединив трубку) произшло чудо: теплая сопля чернил притянулась вверх электростатическим полем пластиковой крышки плоттера, и бесконечно растягиваясь и вращаясь из за вязкости стала прилипать каракуляими к поверхности как будто Бог решил оставить афтограф. Есть фото! At the sewing company there was a wide old plotter of 1986 with an inkwell. And one day when I was changing the ink jar without replacing the rod (disconnecting the tube), a miracle happened: a warm snot of ink was pulled up by the electrostatic field of the plastic cover of the plotter, and infinitely stretching and rotating due to viscosity, the scribble began to stick to the surface as if God had decided to leave the aftograph. There are photos! cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/8b/b6/1397247927-8bb6b21da78cbd880972779a9656ab70.jpeg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/ed/30/1397247926-ed306ac85c7c2702fbf2599ec7b31551.jpeg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/6d/c2/1418208901-6dc215a893d601bdbb3c7108208fbc5e.jpg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/c3/1a/1397248690-c31a84329a9780d75edb6071c1d364df.jpeg

You are a very interesting and intelligent content maker and I appreciate what you're doing. I really enjoy your videos, as they inspire me to continue working on my own creative endeavors! I think about how much work has gone into some of these videos and how motivated and committed you are in each one and I suddenly realize how badly I procrastinate. The video-game console you built was the thing that really helped me get perspective. ...and you didn't even spend more that a week on programming the games for them to turn out so well. ;-; That makes me want to buckle down and learn to code in C# like I have been meaning to do. You are a positive influence in this world and I hope you keep making videos.
Ooh, this looks so cool! I've always had a soft spot for plotters, but never had the space for one, nor have the knowledge to make them work...
You can get some REALLY cool stuff out of that program, thank you for sharing. One thing that produces very cool results is feeding back in an image you produced using the tool. Like make a squiggle image then use that to make a squiggle image.
"Naturally, the fist thing I plotted was a picture of a ball-point pen." 1:25 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
_"it's written in vue.js"_ Finally, my time has come
Pulled my Silhouette Cameo from its dark hiding place yesterday, sitting there as a dustr trap since 2014. Cut some vinyl stickers for my moped with it, now this shows up in my recommended feed. Going to try the squiggles on some reflective vinyl, using a pointy piece of wood in the pen mount.. Btw, on the plotter, you could add double cuts for gradients, using a pencil instead of a ballpoint pen. In 2013, I did a full colour print with a plotter, of a cell shaded scene on A4. If you heard some inexplainable cursing in Dutch that year, that was because of that.. Spent 3 weeks on 1 A4, iirc 11-12 tries. Also, if you can plot again, try pencils in the penholder. Scan a written letter, see how good it translates onto a copy.. Took some tries but at the end, looked exactly like the original..
Been a while since you last uploaded (And yes plotters are cool)
I saw that plotter and immediately thought I know that thing. I don’t know If you remember me. I have been visiting London and the London Hackspace a couple months ago and really enjoyed just seeing you play with the plotter. Glad I found your channel. :)
I once knew a kid who drew with a biro as if it was a plotter. Incredible art.
Having used all those JS frameworks professionally, Vue is probably the least mentally harmful component library of them. I hesitate to even call it a framework it's so small and vanilla. Certainly no more daunting than web workers. ;)

Yes. I have not got on well with React or Angular. Vue seems quite usable though. It has a gentle learning curve and mostly stays out of your way.
My father used to make vinyl signs (big lettering) - and I wrote a program to do the trick of cutting horizontal strips of varying width depending on image density. Result was a vinyl cut that you could stick on a store-front window at massive size. Seen from a distance, it looked like a photo - but when you got close to it, it barely blocked your view of the product on display behind the window. I went on to make vinyl cuts with dots of varying sizes and other stuff like that. It made him a good deal of money about 30 years ago.
As always, this channel delivers on amazingly niche technological marvels. Thank you for uploading.
Editing minified code over changing it at the source? You are a madman
A 3d printer with a pen works pretty damn well as a plotter too (well, technically it's closer to a laser cutter), with the caveat that you need to speak GCODE to it and for the best results, you probably need one that you can reflash the firmware to as the G2 Arc command is usually disabled by default. The Inkscape plugin to turn paths to Gcode is called "J Tech Photonics Laser Tool".

linedraw outputs SVG. I regularly convert SVG to Gcode to send to my favorite Chinese CNC engraver. These converted photos would be great to etch on wood, glass, brass or whatever. I can play around with the laser engraver, too. I have seen similar conversions such as the extensions in Inkscape but these are particularly nice. This is a great video. Thanks.
Love the music.... very "late 60s, early 70s".... I expected Huggy Bear to walk past in his new flares.
The "linedraw" algorithm is my favorite. In the current version of LaserGRBL (3.5.3), I can open the downloaded SVG directly or I can resize and edit it in Inkscape first. LaserGRBL produces perfect GCode for my CNC laser engraver.

In 1980 or so, I wrote a 2D graphics library (mainly to produce scientific plots) in FORTRAN and MACRO-11 for the PDP-11. It generated HPGL to send to HP flatbed printers, and voltages via D/A converters to send to an oscilloscope to control X, Y and brightness (to turn the beam on and off for virtual pen-up and pen-down).

„its like an 3D printer, but in 2D“ *sad regular Printer noises*
Thats about what I did when I got my 3dprinter. Printed a pen holder and then rendered, plotted and drew Mr. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs himself. May the slack be upon you.
this is my 6th favorite channel on youtube.
An algorithm that plots out images in the style of mid-twentieth century printed comic books and newspaper comic strips. The tricky part would be mapping millions of colors to the 64 shades that were available thanks to the printing technology of the time. Well, i guess the trickiest part is getting the alignment right for three passes of color. But even the professional printers had that problem once in a while.

I was playing with HPGL plotter art while working at HP in the early '90s. I was mostly producing fractals and giant mazes.
Good god man! Holy cow! This isn't just for plot printing. This can be used for digitial artwork. If only it could be a photoshop filter. One of the most difficult things to get right is turning photographs into what appear to be hand engraved line art without spending a fortune on commercial photoshop add ons. Or making photos look hand drawn. I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to turn this into a photoshop filter, or even better an Illustrator filter. For now I will be experimenting importing SVG and layering different results.

I don't know about windows 10, but windows 7 had HPGL drivers so you could plot from any application. It was awesome.

It would be cool to have an onionlayer thing on your interface, so you can have 1 image with multiple plotted effects. like, This is the highlight layer and its got this effect, then the midtones have this layer and effect, then the basetones are on this layer and stippled. But it'd probably be more effort than it's worth to fiddle around fine tuning that or finding the right way to filter the image cohesively
Mmmm, plotters. Music to my ears...
I've been playing with algos for photo to embroidery... the vanilla web worker framework you have shared seems like a nice way to set it up.
I played with this some when I was a kid, we had an actual HP pen plotter that used felt tip pens and I noticed that if I accidentally left the pen down it'd wick ink into the paper and make a giant blob....and decided I could use this to my advantage. And I did, albeit very badly. I'd do a PR but I suspect submitting it in BASIC probably wouldn't be all that useful.
Holy shit that was straight up art. Beautifully intertwined with technology. I’d actually buy some of those to Hang up.
You could make something cool by using a needle in the plotter with stipple plotting on black paper. Then shine a light from behind. Lamp shades, maybe.

Fun fact you can turn your 3D printer to a plotter by printing an attachement to hold the pen and voila! ... 3D plotter fun!
I can't remember why I initially subscribed to you but I'm glad I have :)
Really sad I had to throw out two HP pen plotters when moving, they were the closest thing to a robot I had ever seen prior to 3D printers becoming a thing. Amazing when they ran at full, blistering speed, impossible to follow with your eyes unless it was drawing long lines. Unfortunately they only took these rare, HP-specific pens, and even new-old stock in mylar envelopes were dried up. A 3D printer would have been a lifesaver, as it had 7 bays for different colors that could have been amazing.
Love your engineering with the webworkers!
Thanks a lot for the Video and the code. We use it in our hackspace. Inside Inkscape we use gcode-tools to generate GCODE. So we can use a XPlotter device (Kickstarter project). It would be also possible to "misuse" a 3d-printer.
I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but this technology would be brilliant at introducing degradation and artifacting into spectrograms or other image to sound... things. lol that's what I imagine this video is going to be about based on the thumbnail because those absolutely look like audio waves. I think it would be a lot of fun to plot spectrogram style graphs, and then manipulate it with the wiggles and the lines and all those other things you showed off
So cool!! How I wasn't subscribed to this channel yet?
I have a similar laser cutter. Would you ever make a video of what your setup consists of and what you use?

На швейном предприятии стоял широкий старый плоттер 1986 года с чернильницей. И однажды когда я менял банку с чернилами без замены стержня (отсоединив трубку) произшло чудо: теплая сопля чернил притянулась вверх электростатическим полем пластиковой крышки плоттера, и бесконечно растягиваясь и вращаясь из за вязкости стала прилипать каракуляими к поверхности как будто Бог решил оставить афтограф. Есть фото! At the sewing company there was a wide old plotter of 1986 with an inkwell. And one day when I was changing the ink jar without replacing the rod (disconnecting the tube), a miracle happened: a warm snot of ink was pulled up by the electrostatic field of the plastic cover of the plotter, and infinitely stretching and rotating due to viscosity, the scribble began to stick to the surface as if God had decided to leave the aftograph. There are photos! cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/8b/b6/1397247927-8bb6b21da78cbd880972779a9656ab70.jpeg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/ed/30/1397247926-ed306ac85c7c2702fbf2599ec7b31551.jpeg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/6d/c2/1418208901-6dc215a893d601bdbb3c7108208fbc5e.jpg cdn.jpg.wtf/futurico/c3/1a/1397248690-c31a84329a9780d75edb6071c1d364df.jpeg

Are there any pens that can vary their mark diameter based on pressure applied? I think some softer felt tip markers can do this, but can't do it within the range of diameters I'm talking about. If there is such a pen that can go from a fine dot to a broad dot, that would be amazing for one of the dot plotting algorithms.
this is just a fancy printer
Anyone else find themselves squinting every 3 seconds?

*CMYK plot with heavily randomized patterns.* apart from the known linear etc patterns, use some fluid random strokes. type of stroke coupd change with brightness of each area on CMYK channel. and option B, use pen pressure to produce different thicknesses, but i guess you need g-code for that not HPGL. or maybe HPGL has pen height that you could dynamically change, without using CNC or writing a post processor (compiler) for the plotter.
Fantastic! This video have very Tom7-esque vibes. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, thanks for sharing. I am building my own plotters and I always am lacking good generators. Would this program be usable offline you think? -edit- nevermind, I sorted it out. What a wonderful piece of work!!!
