   Minimalist library to generate SVG views of scientific data▲47

   Just wanted to share with HN a simple/minimal open source Python library that generates SVG files visualizing two dimensional data and distributions, in case others find it useful or interesting. I wrote it as a fun project, mostly because I found that the standard libraries in Python generated unnecessarily large SVG files. One nice property is that I can configure the visuals through CSS, which allows me to support dark/light mode browser settings. The graphs are specified as JSON files (the repository includes a few examples). It supports scatterplots, line plots, histograms,…

    Rust/WASM lighting data toolkit – parses legacy formats, generates SVGs▲52

    Hi HN, I'm Holger, a developer who worked in the lighting industry. I built this to scratch my own itch and put it on crates.io and PyPI where nothing like it existed. The old file formats (EULUMDAT from 1990, IES from 1991) still work fine for basic photometry. But the industry is moving toward spectral data – full wavelength distributions instead of just lumen values. The new standards (TM-33, ATLA-S001) are barely supported by existing tools. So this handles both: legacy formats for compatibility, spectral data for anyone who wants to work with the new standards. Stack: Rust core, then…

    I built a free SVG Web site▲60

    This has been an experiment to see if I could create everything using scripts and AI. If AI couldn't do it I'd get it to create the code such as API calls and so on. This websvg.com site was completely created using these AI tools. Including the DNS being applied, the Cloudflare Pages were automatically set up and the the web site was a Svelte 5 application generated by v0.dev and Cursor. Every image was generated in Midjourney and converted to SVG. I have now taken all of these scripts and can create a similar landing or directory site in less than a minute, provided I have the data. Anyway…

    SVG Weave▲14

    Hey HN, I'm a solo dev and I kept wasting hours hand-writing CSS @keyframes to animate SVGs. Write a keyframe, preview, tweak the timing, preview again, repeat. For anything beyond a simple fade it turns into dozens of rules across multiple elements. I wanted something where I could just describe the motion and get working animations back. SVG Weave is a visual node graph editor for this. You place nodes on a canvas (SVG input, prompt, render) and connect them with wires. Type what you want the animation to do, hit render, and the AI streams CSS @keyframes back in real time. You see the SVG…
