generativepy is a generative art and graphing library for creating images and animations. It is an open source project released under the MIT licence.

Usage

generativepy is a library, not an application. It provides useful functions that allow you to create images and videos by writing simple Python scripts.

The library uses pycairo for drawing graphics.

Main functionality:

• A simple framework for creating images and image sequences using pycairo.
• Colour module that supports RGB, HSL and CSS colours and conversion, and transparency support.
• A simple tweening module to help with animation.
• Drawing utility functions to simplify common pycairo operations.
• A graphing library for plotting 2D functions.

Advantages of Python

As a Python library, generativepy can make use of other standard libraries such as:

• numpy, PIL, scipy and others for image manipulation and processing.
• Scrapy, BeautifulSoup and others to obtain data via webscraping.
• OpenCV for image recognition, segmentation, motion detection etc.
• TensorFlow and other libraries for machine learning.
