Paragraphic overview

Paragraphic is a tool for creating complex 2d vector designs, patterns and data-driven graphics using a modular design system.

Paragraphic is built with designers in mind, to allow creating parametric designs in a more familiar UI, without any coding and adopting conventions designers will be familiar with in other design tools.

The idea behind this is both to work as an introduction to designers who are new to this type of design thinking, and to offer a more convenient tool for people experienced in this field.

To encourage experimentation it combines detailed control with allowing you to change any step in the process without needing to remove or undo later steps, giving you a real-time updated view of the end result. To fit into existing workflows you can just copy the result as SVG vector graphics and paste it into other software to continue working with the design.

What’s new in version 1.2.3

Changes and improvements

Added new Group Pivot Relative Transform node that allows you to offset and rotate individual elements in groups relative to the group pivot point.
Added Pivot direction offset and Pivot rotation options to the different Apply/Randomize group nodes to allow offsetting and rotating elements relative to the group pivot point in them as well.
You can now insert new parameter input nodes after an existing input node via a new “Insert node after” item in the input node menu. This allows you to insert further processing of input values without needing to remove and re-add existing nodes.
Improvements to automatic numbering of copied/cut layers when pasted in.
Improved generation index selection warning for nodes acting on single elements.

Bug fixes

Fixed some issues trying to open parameter context menu for parameters without input sockets.
Fixed hover controls stepping buttons not working for random seed parameters with large values.
Removed some incorrect log error messages when undoing/redoing deleting input nodes.
Fixed some issues with node interfaces not updating correctly on change between group and single element inputs.
