Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Canvas API for producing HPGL

Readme

canvas-hpgl

CanvasHpgl gives a HTML Canvas compatible API for producing HPGL. It uses canvas-polyline which produces all output using only straight lines, and then output them using the HPGL PU and PD commands.

Usage

var ctx = new CanvasHpgl() // Takes a single Canvas API contexts or an array of them
ctx.rect(0, 0, 100, 100)
// PU 0,0
// PD 100,0
// PD 100,100
// PD 0,100
// PD 0,0

penColors

You can set which pen to use for a given color like this.

var penColors = {
    '#C00': 3,
    '#0C0': 2,
}
var ctx = new CanvasHpgl(penColors) // Takes a single Canvas API contexts or an array of them
ctx.strokeStyle('#C00') // SP 3;
ctx.rect(0, 0, 100, 100)
ctx.strokeStyle('#0C0') // SP 2;
ctx.rect(200, 0, 100, 100)

Backstory

My initial motivation for creating this project was so I could use the HTML Canvas API with Roland DPX-3300 plotter. The plotter only understands HPGL. I started by creating d3-hpgl, which translates Canvas commands in to the equivilient HPGL, however HPGL (at least version for my plotter) doesn't have native support for quadtractics, beziers or elipses. Additionally I wanted to have support for transformations, so I created this library.

Thanks

The code has been adapted from d3-path, and uses adaptive-bezier-curve, adaptive-quadratic-curve and transformation-matrix.
