This project is an exploration of string art algorithms using python.

I explore multiple ways to create art from images using simulated sewing strings across various distributions of nails over a canvas

Create a python 3 environment (for exemple using conda) and install dependencies:

   $ pip install -r requirements.txt

• First, open string_art.py and edit the "INPUT PARAMETERS SECTION". Each parameter is well described in comments.
• Run the program

   $ python string_art.py

• The program will compute some cache data and start rendering
• you can pause the execution with any key while focusing on an image. Resume with any other key.
• At a given frequency, rendering images will be saved to "steps/[image_name]/run_/[image_name_****.png]"

This sections shows some results with the different pin layout modes. More results (images and videos) can be found in the results directory.
