Vector-based live-drawing utility, using ofxIlda.

Lemur

Lemur is a drawing app based on ofxIlda. It's suitable for any vector-drawing machine, but works on laser projectors.

##Structure:

• Drawables - The program contains Drawables, which are groups of piecewise-polygonal drawings. 'Drawable' is just an interface to ouput ofPolyLines with an input of a time value- but inside, it can be anything. The way we're using them is to generate vector particle systems, and other time-based animations. Right now we have an SVG importer drawable.
• Time Function: Some effects make more sense with timesteps, sin() functions, etc. In order to simplify development, we built chainable time function units, each manipulating values between 0 and 1.
• Behavior: a behavior resides inside a drawable, and reacts to a time value. Harmonic motion can be a behavior, but so can "tween", "simplify" and so on.

Goals:

We want to make a GUI-Based app, controlled by duration or other OSC inputs, that allows stacking and node-based connection of elements for live performance.
