cozyvec is a terminal program for creating plotter art (specifically via SVG files) in javascript with minimal setup.

The library has been designed for brevity, so the code for a specific plot can be tweeted under the hashtag #cozyvec (much like PICO-8's #tweetcart and processing's #つぶやきProcessing) by providing shortcut versions of most tokens that are 1-4 characters.

Browser version available at: https://brubsby.github.io/cozyvec

However, the standalone builds are a better user experience (menu items)

You can download builds for OSX, Windows and Linux, or if you wish to build it yourself, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/brubsby/cozyvec.git
cd cozyvec/desktop/
npm install
npm start

Paper sizes are defined here, create an issue or PR if you'd like me to add another standardized paper size to select from.

You can also call paper|ppr(width_mm, height_mm[, name[, is_portrait]]) at the beginning of your script to define a custom size for your plot.
