Voronoi stippling for Makelangelo

[Anonymous]

I’d really love to see voronoi stippling make it into the Makelangelo software.

I’ve tried to read the code from evil mad scientists and I can’t make heads or tails of it.

Can you lend me a hand, please?

I think you basically have everything you need to do this now.

– a list of gray scale pixels
– get their values from (0-255) or whatever
– decide the amount of different dot sizes – say 4
– for pixel values 0-63 small dot; 64-127 medium small dot; ect
– use the x,y coord from pixel and use the circle gcode to draw circles. small dot 1 circle; medium dot 2 circles; etc

…I have dithering already, but it’s not voronoi stippling. What I’d like to be able to do is say “use N points to dither this image”, which gives a much better control over how long converting a picture will take.

Ahh I see what you are talking about now. It looks tied in with TSP somehow. Seems pretty cool and complicated.

Yes…this style would be tremendous. Is there anyone who can decipher the code?

voronoi stippling is now in the dev branch of the code. anyone improving the makelangelo software has access to the newest features. Everybody else has to wait until we make an official release.
