We are very excited to announce that Jim Armstrong (aka the Algorithmist) will be joining the Degrafa team as a contributor. Jim’s strong math and development skills will help the Degrafa project push forward into un charted territories. Though we have a clear path mapped out for the future of Degrafa, there’s still much to do and Jim’s skill set will most certainly help us get there faster.

Jim’s initial involvement will be to work in collaboration with Jason, Greg and Tom to port the Singularity package to Degrafa and move that research up to a level (MXML) that is more accessible to the Degrafa community. Here are some of the types of things Jim’s work will accelerate.

• A Spline set of Geometric Primitives.
• Text on a path.
• Shape Strokes
• Points and Angles on a path.
• much more…

Working off of Jim’s existing research in combination with our own will allow us to innovate at a faster pace. Jim will also participate in coming optimization goals and work with us to prepare the core of the framework for the future.

Jim is Degrafa’s first real rocket scientist and we are all excited as to where this collaboration will take Degrafa and what it will enable for the Degrafa community.
