Great work. How hard was it to integrate it as an Illustrator plugin ?
- dhotson 9y ago
  Thanks! Actually it wasn't too difficult. It's all in C++ but the Adobe Illustrator SDK came with some examples that were pretty close to what I wanted already. Once I'd figured out the maths I had a prototype working in about a day. The one thing left that I can't figure out is how to have the curvature comb update live as you drag the Bezier control points. Currently it only updates when you mouse up.

    Does it run on multiple platforms, or only OSX?
    - dhotson 9y ago
      It should run fine on Windows as well, but I haven't had a chance to test.

Nice Article! May I ask how you made the notebook interactive? Is this based on a jupyter notebook?

  It's a new project from Mike Bostock and others that was on the front page a couple weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16274686 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16274686

Thank you so much for the illustrator plugin work! It was the first thing I thought of after reading and the reason I clicked on it in the first place. I wish you the best with it, if you ever need beta testers or if there's a way you need help I'd love to. (I run CC 18 on a Windows 10 64bit install).

Would you mind creating a plugin also for Inkscape?
