Shapemaker's submodules#

In approximate order of dependency:

  • geometry: Types and operations that don't have an inherent graphical representation but are used to define more complex objects: Point, Region, etc
  • graphics: Types and operations for objects that can get rendered: all the Object variants (lines, circles, etc), the Canvas, Layers, etc
  • random: Methods named random_... on various types, to help with semi-random procedural artworks
  • rendering: Traits that pertain to rendering graphical elements to an SVG tree and their various implementations on most structs from graphics
  • synchronization: Data structures and methods to synchronize various musical sources (audio files, MIDI files, etc) with the video
  • video: Data structure, user API (mainly adding hooks), rendering and encoding of Canvas "frames" into a H.264 MP4 video file
  • vst: A VST to interact with shapemaker within a DAW directly [wip]
  • wasm: WASM-specific code to provide a JS API to shapemaker, to, for example, make it interact with the WebMIDI API

See the individual READMEs in each submodule for more information.
