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 1.5.2

Changes and improvements

Added a new Join Paths node that allows you to join a group of open paths into a single path by connecting the ends. This allows you to build a lot of interesting shapes and create guilloche-style line patterns.
Holding Alt when using the hover value slider controls now changes the slider range to +/- 1 to make it easier to make small value adjustments to larger values.
Joining two selected path end points in the same location now merges them into a single point.
You can now open a path at a single selected path point, splitting this control point into two disconnected end points.
You can now close paths linking to sub-path end point with the same direction (which automatically reverses the direction of on of the subpaths).
Added a Rename item to the context menu in the layer list as an alternative to double-clicking to rename layers.
Update to Godot 4.7 and ThorVG 1.0.3 rendering/svg engines for improved performance and stability.

Bug fixes

Fixed shift/alt modifier states sometimes sometimes getting stuck when switching out to another application and in again.
Fixed issues with adding new points along some opened freeform paths.
Fixed bug with undoing deletion of a path control point in some situations.
Fixed deleting multiple selected control points sometimes not removing all of them.
Fixed Change Pivot node pivot presets not resulting in the expected pivot for some offset elements.
