Graffiti is a dynamic, open-source project aimed at providing an easy-to-use platform for enthusiasts and designers to create logos and images from instructions. These creations can then be exported to PNG files. Graffiti uses the high-performance 2D vector graphics library Blend2D to render images. This allows for a unique blend of programming and design, opening up new possibilities for digital art.

Graffiti comes with a wide range of features:

• Vector Graphics: Graffiti projects use relative values, allowing the resulting images to be used in any size.
• Scripting Capabilities: Built on top of Lua, Graffiti inherits almost all features of the language. This allows for image creation with a level of automation that is impossible to reach with conventional tools.
• Ease of Use: Graffiti is designed to be easy to learn and apply.
• Color Support: Supports all HTML colors (see colors.lua).
• Path Support: Allows for the creation and manipulation of paths.
• Gradient Support: Allows for the creation of gradients.
• Image Reusage: Supports the reuse of images.
• Layer and Crop Support: Supports layers with cropping and customizable cropping.
• Units: Supports px, cm, and % units (% is the default).
• Transformations: Supports translate, resize, and rotate operations.

Graffiti provides a unique blend of design and programming, allowing users to create intricate and customizable images using scripts. This opens up a new realm of possibilities for digital art, making it accessible to both designers and programmers. With its extensive feature set, Graffiti offers a level of automation and precision that is hard to achieve with conventional design tools. Whether you're a designer looking to automate your workflows or a programmer interested in exploring the world of design, Graffiti is the tool for you.

I would like to express my gratitude to the following individuals and projects that have made Graffiti possible:

• Blend2D: For the high-performance 2D vector graphics library used in Graffiti.
• Lua: For providing the powerful scripting language that Graffiti is built upon.
• CMake: For the robust build system used in Graffiti.
