Grid of colors to svg

[Baggerone]

Hi, As a kind of exercise, I've written some Go code that takes a grid of colors and produces simple xml for an svg of the same image.

Does your package include that functionality? If not, if I were to create a pull request, would you have time to evaluate it and decide whether to include it?

I could make a separate repo just for my code, but someone suggested I check with you first.

Thanks for your consideration.

Yes, the package can handle this, although "grid of colors" is a bit ambiguous. Take a look at https://speakerdeck.com/ajstarks/svgo-code-plus-picture-examples

Here is one (page 10) (Also note that a version is included in the package (along with other examples). See the richter directory

package main

import (
    "math/rand"
    "os"
    "time"

    "github.com/ajstarks/svgo"
)

var (
    canvas = svg.New(os.Stdout)
    width  = 500
    height = 500
)

// inspired by Gerhard Richter's 256 colors, 1974
func main() {
    rand.Seed(time.Now().Unix())
    canvas.Start(width, height)
    canvas.Rect(0, 0, width, height)

    w, h, gutter := 24, 18, 5
    rows, cols := 16, 16
    top, left := 20, 20

    for r, x := 0, left; r < rows; r++ {
        for c, y := 0, top; c < cols; c++ {
            canvas.Rect(x, y, w, h,
                canvas.RGB(rand.Intn(255), rand.Intn(255), rand.Intn(255)))
            y += (h + gutter)
        }
        x += (w + gutter)
    }
    canvas.End()
}
