A library for visualization and creative-coding

Pts

Pts is a typescript/javascript library for visualization and creative-coding.

Get started at ptsjs.org.

Please give it a try, file issues, and send feedbacks to @williamngan. Thank you!

Usage

Option 1
Get the latest pts.js or pts.min.js (in dist folder). Alternatively use a CDN service like cdnjs or jsdelivr or unpkg. Then add it to your html page like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/pts.js"></script>

Pts is pretty lightweight. Currently at ~90kb minified and 26kb gzipped.

Option 2:
Install via npm install pts. Then you can choose to import some parts of Pts into your project as needed.

import {CanvasSpace, Pt, Group, Line} from 'pts';

To quickly get started, try download or clone these repos:

• pts-starter-kit: Get started with a sample app using npm and webpack
• pts-react-example: Try an example of using Pts with React.
• react-pts-canvas: Use it in your React project by extending react-pts-canvas component
