Plotter Geometry
Chladni pen plotter drawing with the default settings

Fields

Chladni

Nodal lines of vibrating square and circular plates, with sand bands hugging them.

Pens

Nodal lines anchor the drawing. Colors distinguish vibration bands on either side. Starts with 4 pens and works with anywhere from 1 to 8.

Settings

Plate, n, m, Mix, Bands, Band spacing (mm), Band spread, Grid resolution (mm).

The preview uses the default settings on A4. Press R in the app for random variations. The SVG export is in millimetres with one Inkscape layer per pen, so it works with the AxiDraw extension, vpype and saxi.
