@Li-Xiao I picked up Paragraphic quite a while ago, too. Before that, I experimented with "Nodebox 3," which—like Paragraphic—is node-based; I’ve loved using Nodes ever since. Which are essentially small code snippets you can combine to create parametric vector graphics. I also occasionally try to recreate things from Paragraphic directly in VectorStyler. It doesn't always work, but it sparks interesting ideas and is a great learning experience. That’s actually how this post came about. I had a design I’d created in Nodebox 3 and was wondering how I could color it in a controlled way. Simply placing a bitmap with the desired color structure underneath seemed like the most promising approach. It looks like I’ll have to recreate it, though, so that the individual shapes can be colored separately. Because Vectorstyler and Paragraphic handel this only as a whole group not as single objects. The best bet by now using Vectorstyler Colorize Feature, which work with single objects. Maybe I will create a spezial Palette or something. But i still experimenting. Here the Design, i put a file ".SVG" too below if someone like to try it.

Great foundational tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

@Clippy-notes Yes, if it is running in the background this will cause this. It should not run if the window is closed

@Subpath Will be fixed

@Clippy-notes Thank you for sharing Then I thought about using a halftone-based approach. At first, it seemed like a promising direction, since halftones are specifically designed to generate regular patterns of dots within a shape. Unfortunately, I ran into the same limitation.

@nrdesign, @devil-dinosaur Here is the Artistic brush Tut I promised—it’s finished and released. It took a few days longer than planned due to the heatwave here in Germany. The order of the day was mostly eating ice cream, drinking plenty of fluids, and sitting outside in the shade. Here the Link for the Tut https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/5850/some-basics-regarding-the-creation-and-use-of-artistic-brushes-as-well-as-a-fast-way-for-selecting-such-a-brush.
