What about using Verve as if it was a tracing table ?
I found today that it was easlly feasible with Processing / Java Robot class; as an example, this little program draws a circle with the mouse somewhere in the screen, you just need to open Verve and place the canvas where the mouse is moving (then mouse click left once):

Link to Processing: https://processing.org/
Example code found here (credit to MenteCode): http://forum.processing.org/two/discuss ... tch-window
Robot class doc: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/ap ... Robot.html

Did someone try things like this ? It is a gate opened to generative art with the Verve touch in ouput !
Let's use this thread to share our experiments.

EDIT: by the way, if you need to escape from the program above (why would you :lol:

), you can't move the mouse by yourself ! so use ALT+F4 to give the hand to Processing again, then press ESC key.

Haha, that's cool!
Hmmmm...who knows what wacky stuff I'll hook up eventually. I think, it all depends on how convenient the GUI will get. Maybe I can even somehow think up an API of sorts for plugins?! We shall see... certainly not in the next version, though.
But this is fun!

Cool but what is the difference with import an image or even past from the clipboard ? :oops:

(I have not ideas very clear at this hours

The difference is that here Processing (or other program acting similarly as above) uses Verve with tracing strokes native to Verve, hence you can render for instance thick impastos, or liquids if you prefer c:!

. I'll try to program some examples (not in the near future though, i need to learn generative stuff first).

Si ce gars peut t'inspirer! Il s'est beaucoup servi de Processing!

Some automatic drawing/painting you could do also with LAZY NEZUMI

...

I hope I can spend some more time with Verve again, but I have a lot to do until end of october in my job and a new city (but there I will have good internetspeed) :ob

@Pilou and Zero: thanks for the links. I like Jared Tarbell's work very much ! I'm thrilled to see that the code is available for some pieces !
@Taron: thanks for your interest. And yes, it would be great if a future version could be somewhat more automation friendly !

OK then, here is my first (hopefully) showable attempt of using Verve with a virtual drawing robot :

If in a hurry, you can speed up x2 or jump directly to 5:10 to watch nice and reckless moves
