History

some screenshots of how the project evolved over time. Special focus on the part that shows the drawing itself. The goal is to give the user an experience of the drawing itself, how it was made, and to deliver some basic information about it, like the color, duration etc. → see FEATURES

This is about how you could plot your drawings via https://1milliondrawings.com
From the artwork → drawings

https://github.com/ibulla/axi-1milliondrawings
NEW ON GITHUB

Python script for working with the AxiDraw v3 pen plotter (and any cheap alibaba copy ;)
driven by the unoffical library „axi“ by fogleman
the script will plot any drawing created via 1milliondrawings.com

If you have an AxiDrawer-Machine you could plot your drawings from the terminal using a python script.
Why should you use it?

Well, because this empowers you to draw an online picture you could remote plot out. I'm sure you figure out how to change the script to automatic plot your ideas
If you need help just write me.
And on the other hand just because it's possible and a really cool way to interact with your axibot.

save the code in a .py script (and yeah install axi / json and requests)
now go and draw some lines @ https://1milliondrawings.com/drawing
after you saved your drawing, remember or write down your DRAWING-ID
now open a terminal and load your script
1. you will be asked for a drawing-ID
2. confirm your plot
fun

This is the code you need to connect to 1 million drawings:

from axi import Device, Drawing
import json
import requests
