Hi, here’s a big works that I start some month ago. : [Patterner on Github](https://github.com/matheynen/patterner)  
It’s an application to create random pattern and draw it with axidraw.

If you don’t have plotter, no problem you can just draw and save as .png  
The main part of the coding was to optimize path to use less as possible Axidraw resources like an automation robot in factory.

Enjoy !
