    Some Mac Users may know PatternNodes a Program from "Lost Minds" Software
    for Pattern making with Nodes.

    There is now a new Software avaible call "Paragraphic" (PC/Mac),
    a parametric 2d graphic design application.
    Data excange to VS is easy via Clipboard

    Here the Link to the Website, there is a Demo avaible
    https://lostminds.com/paragraphic/

    Here a Video

    These functions and operations look very convenient and advanced.

    @Subpath Like the way they implemented the features. I already purchased it.

  • @Subpath I've been beta testing it for a few months and really like it a lot. There's a lot of overlap with Repeater in VS but there are different tools to create the results between the two. Can't have too many fun vector tools!

  • @Subpath Interesting - thanks for posting, looks like heaps of fun to play with, I just purchased it.

    @Boldline
    Yes, I have also seen overlaps with the Repeater in VS.

    @syllie
    i think its a no brainer for just € 23.-

    One feature I already love in "Paragraphic" are the comment fields
    in which you can write down steps or ideas. I often miss
    something like that in other programs.

    I also like that it has a few vector graphic tools and
    not just nodes and of course the easy transfer via
    the clipboard.
    .
    .
    Since I have been more involved with Nodebox, I love
    the possibility of creating vector graphics using nodes.

    Parametric looks to me, in terms of features, like a
    little brother of Nodebox but seems easier to use
    than Nodebox.

    And “Cavalry” as a really big brother of it features wise,
    but is more parametric.
    .
    .
    I find “Rhino 3D” with its built-in “Grasshopper” plugin offers
    the greatest range of features so far when it comes to creating
    vector graphics using nodes. You may wonder, because Rhino
    is known as a 3D Nurbs Modeller.

    But Rhino are able to import and export SVG vector graphics
    since version 8. Which make graphics tranfer between Rhino and
    vector graphic programs easy. Its also easy to do only 2D
    vector graphics with grasshopper in it.

    Of course Grasshopper enables also creation of vector graphics in 3D
    and I'm not just talking about text or 3D modeling. But also vector
    graphics pattern creation in 3D. There are also many free and
    paid plugins that expand the functionality of "Grasshopper"
    much further .

    Btw VectorStyler is a very good companion to all of the programs
    i mentioned here.

    Paragraphic is not actually "released" yet - it is in "early access", meaning it is not finished.

    It may gain additional capabilities by the time it is released.

    @fde101

    Yes, you right. But i did not wrote "Final" Release 🙂
    i change the Titel in "avaible now".

    I also expect that a few more tools and
    features will be added

    The functions of this software are infinitely close to those of Repeater. I think Repeater should have an operation like this: 1. In the editing state of Repeater, the transformation attributes of samples should be independently controllable, including operations such as (moving, skewing, rotating, etc.). 2. A small editing group should have control handles to adjust the left - right and up - down spacing. (When I work, I mostly have a reference picture and copy it. It is very inconvenient for the current Repeater in Vs to perform such operations. Every time I adjust a parameter, I need to move the reference picture to compare with mine.) I hope these operation methods can be added.
