Did some Prototyping in P5js: Blades Program

[Boleeman]

Hi All

After a long time with hassles (with the new boss) at work I have started prototyping some new ideas for programs in P5.js and was going to later make Lazarus versions.

Attached is a screenshot of the latest version of a Bladed Banded Columns idea I had (I made something similar a few years ago but this one has bands on each blade).

Another JS prototype I have been working on is a vector path editor.

I had been using the freely available Wick Animation Program which has a path editor function that makes a straight line curved using a "magnetic type push/pull drag action"

I have prototyped something similar in P5js, but my version has a variable bend radius bend mode and a straighten curve mode (yes you can make a bent curve totally straight). Then I extended the JS prototype code to have undo levels, coloured lines, line widths, rotation about a moveable centroid point, scale by bounding box and a translate/move function.

The attached screenshot shows the rotation mode.
The middle line was also curved, but I straightened it out with the straighten function.
The other 2 lines shows how paths can be freedrawn and then curved.

Hoping to eventually convert this JavaScript prototype to a Lazarus Vector editor.

Anyhow, I thought I would illustrate another prototyping example that I have been tinkering with, possibly to give other Lazarus programmers some ideas in inventing/implementing some functions in their own Lazarus programs.
