String Art

Stringy is one of several graphics demos that I wrote for entertainment and has persisted throughout the years. It is a computer-generated version of the string art one likely made with yarn and cardboard in the first grade. Other than amuse, the program does not do anything useful.

This is the string art program rewritten in the C language and running under Windows. String art looks much better in color! Note the increase in code size. Most of the new code is due to the user interface.
