      I used a shape with a multi-colored gradient to colorize a bunch of strokes using the Repeater,
      and transferred the color (style)—using the new Style Picker Tool Feature— to a bunch of
      other Strokes created with the Blend function.

      The strokes colored with the Repeater

      Here the Result

        Took a a gradient from another App with a screenshot and use
        this raster graphics then to colorize a bunch of strokes with the Repeater.

        This time no Style Picker Feature where used.
        I create a a color Palette instead from that bunch of strokes
        (create Palette from selected Objects)
        and colored a Swirling Lines Shape after converted it to curves
        via Colorize with that new palette

          Made in Vectorstyler, recreate a pattern i found on the Internet
          mine look a bit different but i am fine with that

          .
          .
          For anyone who is interested, you need to split the Line
          in different pieces to create this pattern

            I more or less replicated a pattern I found online.
            I couldn't resist using the "Along Stroke" feature
            in VectorStyler's gradient editor.

              This was inspired by "string art"; I wanted to experiment with creating it
              as vector graphics and applying gradients to the individual paths to see
              what kind of patterns would emerge.

              The String Art was made in Nodebox because its very easy to
              create Point/Node Pattern with it.

              The coloring was created in VectorStyler; which allows to create gradients along a path
              and allows them to be applied to the design's paths using the "Style Picker" group function.

                  @Subpath These graphics look quite unique. I’m curious: can VectorStyler create them at the moment?

                    I think some of the Designs would be possible in Vectorstyler
                    all you need is a straight Line, rotate it a bit and copy and repeate it

                    But i think it is way easier to do it in Nodebox because one would have more Options
                    when you could set single Points and connect those Points with a Line i dont think
                    that Vectorstyler could set single points.

                    To set single points and connect them its very easy in Nodebox. (Nodebox is free, PC and Mac
                    in the mean time there is also a Version for Silicon based Macs )
                    All you need is a Path and a Point Node which say how much Points a Path should have.
                    This way you could create all kind of Point Patterns and connect them.
                    .
                    .
                    Here how the base Structure is made
                    base structure.png
                    .
                    .

                    and here the whole Design

                      Some additional notes regarding Points in NodeBox:

                      Points serve not only to connect lines or paths.
                      They can also be used to specify positions for shapes or designs.

                      And since this all is Node-based in Nodebox, it is very easy to replace
                      one shape with another or to modify the design.

                      Not to forget that Nodebox is a pretty good compainion to Vectorstyler
                      NB has .SVG and PDF Export and you could import .SVGs

                        @Subpath This is a node-based program, which I’m afraid won’t work for me. Just like creating materials in C4D, it requires connecting nodes. This kind of workflow isn’t my strong suit.

                          No problem if it doesn't work for you or isn't a good fit.

                          I only use it for specific tasks myself. Creating vector graphics using nodes certainly
                          has its merits and its fun to use. I didn't find the basic principles hard to learn—and
                          I’m really not the brightest bulb.
