Inkscape Smart Shapes

Updated August 20, 2006 @ 20:09 PDT

Bryce had a really great idea about making smart shapes in Inkscape (this is my informal nudging to get him to blog about it properly). Basically, there would be shapes in Inkscape that would include code and the shape (morphology) of the objects would/could effect the code in the shape. THen, one could use connectors to create a computer program between different objects thus creating a nice way to create extensions, not to mention an easy way for users to get into programming and creating interesting clip art.

This idea reminds me of Miller Puckette’s PD (short for pure data and also public domain). His app is used by oh so many art kids to rock experimental audio. I fortunately had to chance to study with Miller at CRCA @ UCSD.
