CGI-Clojure Line Art Generator

Generates a slightly-randomized, generative line art design based on a bg and fg parameters.

Usage

https://cgi.eccentric-j.com/lineart/lineart.svg?bg=000000&fg=ffffff

BG

Background color of the canvas any valid hex color string should work.

FG

Foreground color for lines. The script will lower their opacity to prevent the contrast from becoming distracting.

Tiled as a background-image

.generative-bg {
    height: 100px;
    background: url('https://cgi.eccentric-j.com/lineart/lineart.svg?bg=363333&fg=F3C581');
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

Example

Below is a saved response from the request, note that each request will look slightly different.

Preview within the Org Doc

bb -cp src test/lineart.clj "bg=363333&fg=F3C581"

Save output from bash

bb -cp src test/lineart.clj "bg=363333&fg=F3C581" > test/lineart.svg

How it Works

Basically just a Clojure script over cgi that generates the SVG XML. More information is available at https://eccentric-j.com/blog/clojure-like-its-php.html.
