vg.js

vg.js is a JavaScript library for vector graphics.

var i = 0;
var paths = [];
vg.grid(4, 4, 250, 250).map(function (pt, i) {
    var p = vg.ellipse(pt, 75, 75);
    return p.resampleByAmount(i + 3);
});

Installation

Directly

Download the latest ZIP and grab the files in the dist folder. These are compiled.

Using Bower

To install using Bower, enter the following command in your project directory:

bower install vg.js

You can then include them in your scripts using:

<script src="/bower_components/g.js/dist/g.js"></script>

Using Browserify

To install using Browserify, enter the following command in your project directory:

npm install --save vg.js

Development

We use a set of npm scripts to build releases:

During development

Running npm run watchify will automatically create new builds in the build directory whenever the source changes.

Updating the dist

Running npm run dist will build a complete and minified version of g.js in the dist folder. You can also run npm run browserify and npm run uglify separately.

Publishing a release

1. Update the version number in package.json and bower.json.
2. Run npm run dist to update the files in the dist folder.
3. Commit (git commit -a) and create a tag (e.g. git tag 1.2.1). Push and push tags (git push && git push --tags).
4. Run npm publish to publish the package to npm. You don't have to do anything for Bower.
