This example generates an interactive Sol LeWitt-inspired drawing using only native JavaScript and SVG APIs, without external libraries. It shows a grid of thin horizontal and vertical lines across the full browser viewport, masked by two circles at the center. The first mask reveals horizontal bars within a dark circle, while the second mask inverts the effect for vertical bars in a contrasting ring, creating a crosshatched circular pattern that stands out against the plain background. The code creates elements dynamically via `document.createElementNS` and applies masks (`circle-mask`, `circle-mask-2`) to clip the repeated rectangles.

Sol Lewitt Variante

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired wall drawing as an interactive SVG visualization. The artwork shows a grid of thin horizontal and vertical lines that are visible only within two overlapping circular masks, creating a crosshatched pattern inside the circles against a blank background. The code uses plain JavaScript with the SVG DOM API, creating mask elements and hundreds of rect primitives programmatically. A black-filled mask with a white circle reveals the horizontal lines, while an inverted mask with a black circle reveals the vertical lines, demonstrating a simple yet effective clipping technique.

Sol Lewitt in Vanilla JS Project Attempt #1

This example recreates a Sol Lewitt-inspired geometric drawing using nested, alternating black-and-white rectangles that shrink toward the center of an SVG canvas. The work is generated entirely with vanilla JavaScript, manipulating SVG elements through the Document Object Model (DOM) and the `createElementNS` API. It renders a grid of concentric rectangles with varying stroke widths and fill colors, producing a static, pattern-based composition. The code uses raw SVG string concatenation within a loop to build the shapes, with no external libraries or data sources involved.

SolLeWitt in VanilaJS

This example generates a geometric composition inspired by Sol LeWitt using only vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API. It creates an SVG canvas sized to the viewport, then draws alternating horizontal and vertical bars whose visibility is controlled by two circular masks. The top mask applies a black circular cutout over white bars, while the bottom mask uses a white circle to reveal underlying horizontal bars, producing an intersecting circular pattern. The code relies on `document.createElementNS` and `setAttribute` for all SVG elements, with no external libraries.

Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using only Vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API, with no external libraries. The SVG dynamically adapts to the browser window’s dimensions, generating a composition of alternating horizontal and vertical bars. It uses SVG `<mask>` elements with circles to clip the bar patterns, revealing a circular region in the center where the orientation of the lines shifts, mimicking the geometric interplay found in LeWitt’s conceptual art. The code builds all shapes procedurally via `createElementNS`.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style geometric piece using only SVG and JavaScript, creating an intricate grid of horizontal and vertical lines. It shows a large circular mask revealing a woven pattern of alternating line directions, with the circle centered on a full-screen canvas. The code builds the visualization by constructing SVG elements via the DOM API (`document.createElementNS`), defining two masks (`circle-mask` and `circle-mask-2`) to clip horizontal and vertical line groups. It generates 100 horizontal rectangles and 100 vertical rectangles, each 10 pixels thick, with the masks controlling visibility to create the overlapping effect. No external libraries are used; the rendering relies purely on raw SVG and JavaScript.

Sol LeWitt Repro w/ vanilla JS

A full-screen SVG reproduction of a Sol LeWitt wall drawing displays two interlocking sets of thin vertical and horizontal bars. A central circular mask inverts the visibility of the two grids, creating a stark contrast between the denser vertical lines inside the circle and the horizontal lines outside. The piece is built with vanilla JavaScript, dynamically creating SVG elements and applying mask definitions without any external libraries. The code generates one hundred vertical and one hundred horizontal rectangles, using the `mask` attribute to alternate their visibility based on the circle’s boundary.

Sol LeWitt Attempt #3 Vanilla JS

This example renders an abstract geometric composition inspired by Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings, built with vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API. It shows a 1000×700 canvas filled with alternating vertical and horizontal stripes that appear to weave through a central hourglass-like polygon shape. Two SVG masks define the visible regions: the first mask applies to 50 vertical red stripes, the second to 50 horizontal red stripes, creating a layered visual effect where the pattern changes orientation within the polygon. The code constructs the SVG elements dynamically using `createElementNS`, with mask polygons and stripe rectangles, demonstrating a low-level approach without external libraries.

Sol LeWitt Exercise with JS

An SVG built with vanilla JavaScript recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired wall drawing by layering two sets of 100 striped rectangles. Horizontal and vertical black bars cross the full viewport, but a pair of circular masks restricts visibility: one mask shows only the horizontal stripes inside a 200-pixel circle, while the second reveals vertical stripes outside that same radius. The result is a clean, conceptual grid where the two orientations visually swap at the circle's boundary, using the SVG `mask` element and dynamic element creation via `document.createElementNS`.
