🔗Swallow
A swallow is very smart.
🔗Tutorial
You can ask the swallow to move somewhere:
m 2.5,2.5
To draw a vertical line:
v2.5
And a horizontal one:
h2.5
Or any line:
l -2.5,-2.1
And finally ask it to completely close the current drawing path:
Z
Swallows can also draw arcs in the sky:
M0,15 l 2.0,-1 a2.5,2.5 -30 0,1 2.5,-1.5 l 2.0,-1 a2.5,5.0 -30 0,1 2.0,-1 l 1.0,-1 a2.5,7.5 -30 0,1 5.0,-2.5 l 1,-1 a2.5,10.0 -30 0,1 5.0,-2.5 l 5.0,-2.5 Z
And even do maths thank to Pierre Bézier, a famous french engineer and Renault worker:
M1,2 C1,1 2.5,1 2.5,2 S4,3 4,2Z
M5,3 Q5,0.5 6,3 T10,2Z
Did you know that this tiny programming language is in fact a part of the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image format specification called SVG Path Data?
The picture of the swallow you can see in this web site has been, in fact, made with this technology:
