SquiggleDraw will create a SVG file from an image, using the brightness to change the amplitude of sine waves. It is easier to look at the examples below to better understand. :-)
You can use the saved SVG file to print from Inkscape/AI/etc, draw with a pen on a pen plotter (like the awesome AxiDraw), or engrave with a lasercutter (it looks cool!)
This is code for Processing (http://processing.org)
Additional dependency: Download and install controlP5 in your processing libraries directory. ( http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/ )
Features:
- Simple UI to load/save images, adjust parameters related to the sine waves, and basic image adjustements
- Saved SVG is larger than original image for detail
Example output:
