Hi Arthur. Thanks! It was nice to meet you too. No video tutorials yet, I've barely started this project. I want to get more of the code worked out before I start making any tutorials for it.

Hi Ben, back to work I can see :) This is brilliant, any video tutorial?

It was great to meet you in TA. See you again soon for Gin and Burger!

Yeah, I was hoping you would answer that it was the raw output. Well, I was curious about the rollover effect. Looking forward to the arbitrary attributes..

also, here's where the code lives: https://github.com/bengolder/gh-svg

Nay Soe: svg is a text-based file format for vector data that can be read my most vector-editing software (Illustrator, etc.) as well as displayed in most web browsers. It's an open source and common file format, which means that there are a lot fo plugins and software for editing or reading it.

But my primary motivation for creating this was to better connect 3d model illustrations to online interfaces. With a little bit of javascript or css, geometry outputs from Rhino or Grasshopper can be very dynamic. For example, each piece of geometry could link to a new webpage, or could display associated information. This script was in part inspired by the d3.js javascript library, which makes excellent use of svg to create interactive data visualizations.

Well there's a little bit of post-processing: I wrapped it in an html page, and added about two lines of css to create the mouseover highlight effect. Next I'll look into embedding arbitrary attributes.

ohhh! No post-processing there I guess.? Thumbs up.
