This second fountain pen plot shows that getting only one shape is possible &amp; generally diverges from being a circle! A new compression mechanism was implemented to allow a wide range of amplitude on the lines without hurting the paper. My previous exploration was creating a problem as it was crossing the lines, I&#39;ve made it bounces to avoid this issue.

Circles (Reveal 2 / 7)

This plot is the first of a series of 7 plots that reveal &quot;Plottable Circles&quot; – my next plottable generative art on <a href="https://fxhash.xyz/u/greweb">fx(hash) platform</a>.
This first plot reveals that my incoming generator is indeed going to be a reboot of <a href="https://greweb.me/plots/313">https://greweb.me/plots/313</a> recent exploration. More properties will be revealed in the 6 next plots!

This plot is the genesis piece that covers my new Plottable Mesh generator.
Many NFTs are available to mint with an interesting variety of results. As in <a href="/2021/12/plottable-mountain-moons">previous generators</a>, owning the NFT confer the power to request a physical plot on: <a href="https://greweb.me/plots/nft">https://greweb.me/plots/nft</a> – this is optional and you can also just enjoy the digital version.

The generator generalizes a bunch of past explorations you can find on <a href="https://greweb.me/plots">https://greweb.me/plots</a>
A noise shape is mirrored to produce symmetry effect and, using marching square, transposed into lines. Lines are &quot;doubled&quot; to offer more depth in the pattern.
The noise can be more or less intense, from a smooth mesh to stronger patterns.
One of the important innovations is the &quot;intersection&quot; mecanism: lines of a shape stop when its &quot;mirrored&quot; version also stop, which makes areas without any lines and intensify the patterns. The intersection logic can diverge to allow a bit &quot;non intersected parts&quot;.
One rarity aspect is the color you will get. It will sometimes be a 2-colors plot to emphasize on the mirror duality.
There are many other rarity aspects and the general variety will offer a wide range of results.

As these are plottable, it was complex to adjust the number of lines depending on the intensity of the noise.
I had some early failed prototypes caused by too many lines: the pen was literally digging into the paper! I have adjusted these to hopefully no longer happen.

Like said in <a href="https://greweb.me/2021/12/plottable-mountain-moons">https://greweb.me/2021/12/plottable-mountain-moons</a>, &quot;Prototype Prototype Prototype&quot; is the way to go for these physical pen/paper issues!
The following photos are prototype plots that shows some different explorations but do not guarantee these will be possible outcomes, but it mostly could!
