Gdadin - a cfdg Inkscape Effect

Dear Cfdg community,
I'm pleased to announce the first release of Gdadin.

Gdadin: GUI to Draw Algorithms Designed with Inkscape
http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin

Gdadin is an Inkscape effect. It creates complex drawings from simple rules
The rules are defined with an intuitive GUI based on the Copy&Paste principle.

The Gdadin concept and its main design have been heavily inspired by
Cfdg ( http://www.contextfreeart.org/ ), a programming language used to
compose and create drawings. Almost all drawings created with Cfdg can be
reproduced with Gdadin.

Examples: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/examples/
Main documentation: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/README
Video lessons: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/lessons/


Best regards and thanks for your works.

Superb!

Something like this has been on my thoughts, too, being an Inkscape user.

BTW, Have you thought about exporting inkscape paths to context free paths? It shouldn't be too big a feat, so I'm interested if someone has already gone experimenting.

Yep, but I chose the easiest way ;)

It is still a possibility: just convert the Gdadin-svg to a .cfdg.
But you'll want to do that only for the final rendering.
