Hi, I'm not a programmer, so I can't further your wish for a new LPE. But as an Inkscape user, I absolutely love the Spirograph extension! With the Live Preview, it makes it almost live, like an LPE.

While I would love to see a spirograph LPE, perhaps your request hasn't gotten much attention because of the live preview on the extension?

For uses like certificate borders, wouldn't that require a lot of nodes? For the extension, that kind of spirogram does tend to tax my poor little 4 gb ram. Maybe that's another reason?

Have you see any of jabiertxof's new LPEs -- such as kaleidoscope, mirror symmetry lattice, etc? https://www.youtube.com/user/jabiertxof/videos Not exactly the same thing, but still could possibly be used for things like certificate borders. Although they aren't available in a stable release yet....but maybe pretty soon?

Indeed, even if jabiertxof could be enticed to make one, it would likely be some months before they're released in stable version. Maybe you could use the extension until then?

Just a couple of thoughts :-) brynn

Similar effect can be achieved with the polygon tool. This is perhaps why it hasn't gotten much attention. Just a thought. :) -C On 26 Sep 2015 6:31 pm, "Jerry Segers" <segers@...3169...> wrote:

Hi, I had an idea for a feature in inkscape, and I submitted a wishlist bug on 5-17-2014 and noone seems interested. It is a suggestion for a LPE for a spirograph pattern generator. I did some research and found the necessary math info to make the shapes, and the algorithm needed to make the result from the math usable in inkscape. I was thinking it would be great for certificates, and suchlike. Plus I think it would just be great fun to play with. Is anyone else interested? Maybe someone who knows calculus and c++? Anyway, here’s the link if you’re interested.
