Fork of Sol LeWitt Reproduction

This page reproduces a Sol LeWitt drawing using an SVG mask to create a circular viewport. The code generates 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes, masking each set so that the horizontal lines appear within a central circle, while the vertical lines are visible outside it, producing a clean geometric contrast. It uses the SVG DOM API directly, creating elements via `document.createElementNS` and applying masks with `url(#circle-mask)` and `url(#circle-mask-2)`. The composition adapts to the browser window’s current dimensions with no data source beyond the generated shapes.

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition by drawing 100 horizontal stripes across the full browser window. A circular SVG mask, defined with a black circle over a white rectangle, reveals only the central region of the stripes, creating a circular vignette effect. The code constructs all elements dynamically using the raw Document Object Model (DOM) API, including `document.createElementNS` and `setAttribute`, without relying on external libraries. The mask and rectangles are appended directly to an SVG element sized to match the viewport dimensions.

A fork of Sol LeWitt’s geometric art, this visualization renders a series of horizontal black stripes across the full browser window, with a circular region in the center masked out to reveal the white background. The composition uses an SVG `mask` element to create the circle, while JavaScript dynamically generates 100 rectangles, each 10 pixels tall, and applies the mask to them. The code relies on native SVG APIs, including `createElementNS` and `setAttribute`, without any external libraries.

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt drawing by layering two sets of striped rectangles over a central circular mask. A grid of horizontal and vertical bars is clipped to reveal a circle in the center, while the surrounding area shows only one orientation of stripes. Using plain JavaScript and the SVG API, it dynamically creates `rect` elements and applies two `mask` definitions with intersecting `circle` and `rect` shapes to alternate the visible stripes. The code runs entirely in the browser with no external libraries.

This visualization reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using SVG elements and mask-based compositing. It shows a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes that intersect within a central circular region, creating a geometric pattern where line orientations alternate inside and outside the circle. The code uses raw SVG DOM manipulation via `createElementNS` to build rectangles and defines two masks (`circle-mask` and `circle-mask-2`) to control visibility. Horizontal stripes appear inside the circle, while vertical stripes fill the outer area, demonstrating how SVG masks can selectively reveal layered shapes.

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using only JavaScript and the SVG API. A central circular mask reveals a grid of horizontal black lines in the center of the viewport, while a second inverted mask allows vertical black lines to appear only outside the same circle, creating a striking contrast. The code dynamically creates all SVG elements—including masks, rectangles, and circles—based on the browser window dimensions, generating 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes that intersect in a pattern defined by the two masks.

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using raw SVG elements and mask manipulation. The visualization renders a series of overlapping horizontal and vertical stripes by creating rectangles and applying circular SVG masks to confine their visibility, producing a geometric composition. The code uses DOM manipulation via `createElementNS` and `setAttribute` to construct the SVG, with two distinct masks (`circle-mask` and `circle-mask-2`) controlling different stripe patterns. The result is a monochromatic, grid-based artwork where varying rectangle heights and widths generate a rhythmic, minimalist pattern across the full viewport.
