CelticKnot

CelticKnot is a library for generating celtic knots from graphs. The technique used is the one described by Christian Mercat[1], in which graphs are used as a kind of scaffolding for building celtic knots.

Features

  • Arbitrarily complex graphs as input
  • Input graphs may specify walls[2] on edges

Dependencies

TODO

Aside from fixing the multitude of bugs, I’d like to see the following features added eventually:

  • Shaped corners (e.g. pointed corners, or blunt, etc.)
  • Flourishes
  • Encapsulated knots (e.g., fill some arbitrary shape with knotwork)

License

CelticKnot is written by Jamis Buck (jamis@jamisbuck.org). The author hereby places this library into the public domain.
