Plottimation, my tool for converting #plotterArt frame-sheets into animated GIFs, is now in version 1.09 after extensive improvements :) golanlevin.github.io/plottimation/

### New features and improvements * Added a `lineshuffle` command to randomize the plotting order of lines in the current geometry (thanks to @gatesphere) (#715) * Added a `cropcricle` command to crop the current geometry to a circle (#808) * Added a `--orientation` option to the `pagerotate` command to conditionally rotate the page to a target orientation (thanks to @gatesphere) (#705) * Added support for Python 3.13 and dropped support for Python 3.10 (#784) ### Bug fixes * Fixed a crash when reading SVG with simplify active (via the `read --simplify` command or the read APIs with `simplify=True`) (thanks to @nataquinones) (#732) * Fixed the formatting of many commands' help text and added a snapshot test to avoid future regressions (#810) * Fixed erroneous mention of `--page-size` in `layout`'s inline help ### Other changes * Use Ruff for code formatting (supersedes Black) (#737)

vpype 1.15.0 released! 🎉

Rust Meetup, Di., 24. Juni 2025, 19:00 | Meetup Let's meet at the [Waterloo Biergarten](https://maps.app.goo.gl/XnZKm6QcFm53AknGA) for the first Rust meetup in Hannover! Everyone is welcome, we'll talk about the languag

Organizing a rust meetup in hannover! www.meetup.com/de-DE/rust-h...

1/ We just raised $17M to build the multimodal data stack for Physical AI! 🚀

Lead: pointnine.com
With: costanoa.vc, Sunflower Capital,
@seedcamp.com
Angels including: @rauchg.blue, Eric Jang, Oliver Cameron, @wesmckinney.com , Nicolas Dessaigne, Arnav Bimbhet

Thesis: rerun.io/blog/physica...

Finally finished porting mast3r-slam to @rerun.io and adding a @gradio-hf.bsky.social interface. Really cool to see it running on any video I throw at it, I've included the code at the end

On a pretty depressing day, I got a little cheer with a #ptpx postcard from @bylr.info - including information on how it was programmed, and links to GitHub.

I love this!

I went all in with that particular feature, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks to my colleagues @ernerfeldt.bsky.social and @wumpf.bsky.social for helping/pushing me 🙏🏻

Of course, the hardest part was producing that video at the end... 😬

Introducing egui 0.30!

This adds `egui::Scene`: a pannable, zoomable container for other UI elements.

This release also makes frames and corner radius more in line with how CSS and Figma works.

We’ve also improved the crispness of the rendering, and a lot more!

Recently, I've been playing with my iPhone ToF sensor, but the problem has always been the abysmal resolution (256x192). The team behind DepthAnything released PromptDepthAnything that fixes this. Using @rerun.io to visualize. Links at the end of the thread

This champ of an unprotected, generic-brand, yet uniquely pen-plotted postcard is going half of the world your way @timclicks.dev—for science! May it wear elegantly… 😅

This being #ptpx, a bunch more are leaving today for the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the US.

#penplotter

Also, entity filtering in the UI is coming 🎉

Nice to meet you too 👋

Great post on using #vsketch for #penplotter art.

Thanks for the kind words about #vsketch ☺️

r/synthesizers would love that stuff!

I can't seem to be able to find out what has changed since v1. Are there some release notes somewhere?

First couple of #ptpx cards arrived, by @jcammarata.bsky.social and Adam Demuri 😍

Love the Fabienne Verdier vibes with the latter: fabienneverdier.com/db/painting/...

Awesome plots made with vpype-pixelart 🤩

New Graph View in Rerun 0.21 YouTube video by Rerun

Rerun 0.21 is out!

With it we’re introducing graphs in Rerun

This release we tried something new and put explainer videos into the release notes

Whatcouldpossiblygowrong releasing a week before the holidays 😅

Would be great to have them it JetBrain's IDE too ;)

For those that don't know, for five years now I've organized an annual international Secret Santa-style exchange for pen-plotted postcards.

I'm going to make this a thread of postcards for the exchange that I find on here!

Textual - Algorithms for high performance terminal apps Textual is a TUI framework for Python, inspired by modern web development.

Textual 1.0 has been released. 🥳

Three years in the making. A TUI framework that is bigger than the terminal.

To celebrate, I want to give away some trade secrets. Because I am appalling at keeping secrets.

Tell me what you think of the diagrams...

We're #hiring for another super fun role: a #Robotics #ML Engineer!

First check...

Wow, vpype has made SVG optimization so much easier!
Really appreciate this awesome tool! @bylr.info
#penplotter

Btw,🇨🇭and 🇳🇿 aren't far from being opposite points on Earth. For science, DM me your address and I'll add you to my list. Let's see how my generic-brand card fares! 🧑‍🔬

I never really solved that problem satisfactorily, trying fancy papers that are not robust enough, or even using envelopes—is it still a postcard then?

So now I roll with the wear being part of the charm... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sneak peak: we're working on graphs in Rerun 👀

Looking for new colleagues!

We implemented undo in @rerun.io by storing the viewer state in the same type of in-memory database we use for the recorded data. Have a look (sound on!)
