Lillicon

Lillicon is an experimental design tool to help create/edit scale variations of sets of icons (in vector format--SVG). It was developed by Gilbert Bernstein and Wil Li as part of a research project. The project page can be found here: http://www.gilbertbernstein.com/project_lillicon.html

Installation

Lillicon runs entirely in the browser, so no installation is necessary. Just open up index.html to start.

Notes for Development

• Lillicon was developed on Firefox and uses a few ECMAScript6/Harmony features. If this appears to be a problem, you may want to try using the polyfill file js/setpolyfill.

• Some dependencies were obtained via Bower, a package manager for client-side Javascript code. We've left the bower.json file around in case you would like to mess with this directly, but also included the bower_components directory under source control so that everything will work out of the box for developers who dont' want to mess with this.

• This project includes a copy of Jonathan Shewchuk's Triangle library, compiled via emscripten. If you would like to try to reproduce this cross-compilation, we've included a Makefile. However, no attempt has been made to ensure this Makefile will work out of the box on different systems. Think of it more as a transcript of what we did.
