Geometrize Haxe is a Haxe library for recreating images with geometric primitives. Run the demo in your browser.
Geometrize Haxe is part of Geometrize and was inspired by the primitive Go library.
The matrix shows typical results for circles, triangles, rotated rectangles, rotated ellipses and all supported shapes at 50, 200 and 500 total shapes:
- | 50 Shapes | 200 Shapes | 500 Shapes |
---|---|---|---|
Circles | ![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
Triangles | ![]() |

Rotated Rectangles | ![]() |

Rotated Ellipses | ![]() |

All Shapes | ![]() |

A user provides a target image, and the algorithm finds shapes to approximate that image. To identify a good shape, the algorithm generates a large number of random candidate shapes, repeatedly improving the fit of each using a hillclimbing optimization approach, eventually choosing the best-fitting shape. The shapes are added one by one.
If you are working in JavaScript, check out geometrizejs which provides JavaScript API and types for this library, tested on browser and Node.js.
On top of it, geometrizejs-cli tool provides command line interface and support for common image formats.
Get the Haxe library from GitHub or through haxelib:
haxelib install geometrize-haxe
ImageRunner
, passing it a Bitmap
target image and a starting background Rgba
color.runner.step(options)
, passing in your ImageRunnerOptions
.export
methods on SvgExporter
and ShapeJsonExporter
.Refer to the library documentation. Also see the Geometrize Haxe web demo and code, or this HaxeFlixel example and code.
