Forgeplot

Now on Mac: one purchase covers iPad, iPhone and Mac. Designed for iPhone Duo. Forgeplot adapts to every way you hold it: the closed outer screen, the open inner display, and half-folded with the art above the fold and the controls below. Pieces redraw live as you move the sliders, nothing resets when you fold or unfold, and wallpapers export at the exact pixel size of either Duo screen. Make generative art that a pen plotter can actually draw. Forgeplot turns simple sliders into intricate line art built for pen plotters. Pick a style, tune it by feel, and export a clean, ready-to-plot SVG — correctly sized for your machine, organised by pen, and optimised so the pen takes the shortest path. Not plotting today? The same piece exports as a crisp wallpaper at the exact size of your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Everything is real single-stroke vector art, built that way from the ground up. No raster tracing, no import-export juggling, no code. SIXTY GENERATORS, WITH MORE IN EVERY UPDATE • Fields & flow — Flow Field, Topo Contours, Ridgelines, Warp Grid, Moiré • Growth & organic — Differential Growth, Space Colonization, L-System Plant, Fractal Tree, Particle Trails, Flocking • Packing & mesh — Circle Packing, Voronoi, Dot Field • Tiling & symmetry — Truchet Tiles, Wave Collapse, Subdivision, Mandala, Maze • Curves & lines — Harmonograph, Lissajous, Spirograph, Superformula, Space-Filling Curve • From your photos — Hatched Photo, TSP Portrait, Stipple, Halftone, String Art, Low-Poly, Squiggle • Simulations — Reaction–Diffusion, Cellular Automata, Strange Attractor BUILT FOR REAL MACHINES • Presets for AxiDraw (A4, Letter, A3, SE/A1, MiniKit) and iDraw, plus any custom size • True physical sizing — a 210 mm piece measures 210 mm in Inkscape • One layer per pen, in drawing order — plot one colour at a time and swap pens between layers • Colour By: every generator can split its lines by what they mean — trunk and canopy, old and new growth, tile orientation, tone — so a two-pen plot says something • Path optimisation that typically cuts pen-up travel by 90% or more • Hidden-line removal and multi-pass for ink saturation • Plot preview: watch the pen path and see time, ink and stroke count before you commit ONE PIECE, EVERY SCREEN • Export wallpapers at your device's exact resolution — iPhone, iPad, Mac, 4K, square • Recompose regenerates the piece to fill a new shape instead of cropping it • Ink-on-paper or inverted YOURS, EXACTLY • Every piece is saved as a recipe — generator, seed and settings — so it reproduces identically, at any size, forever • A personal gallery on device; nothing is collected, nothing is tracked Pen plotters connect to a computer over USB, so Forgeplot exports and hands off: AirDrop to your Mac or save to Files, then plot from Inkscape (with the AxiDraw extension) or saxi.
