Magic Designer Emulator: A Fun and Artistic Tool Set for Producing Mathematically Inspired Designs

Are you looking for a fun and creative way to produce mathematically inspired designs? Look no further than Magic Designer Emulator, a computer program that is an exact emulation of a toy which was sold years ago called Magic Designer. This fun artistic tool set allows you to produce an almost infinite number of spectacular designs, simply by enjoying the process or using them for various purposes such as T-shirt transfers, CD/DVD labels, transparencies, greeting cards, business logos or even patterns for unique tattoos.

The original device was made out of metal gears and came with circular paper and colored pens. Its 6 inch diameter Center Gear meshed with two 1-inch Planetary Gears, each with a circling Peg. The Pen Arms were placed on these Gear Pegs or on fixed Stud Pegs at either side. The Left Gear was moved in a 60 degree arc by the Shift Lever. By selecting holes in the arms and a setting on the shift lever, brilliant designs could be cranked out on rotating paper discs.

The emulator is based upon solving mathematical formulas to calculate the point at which the arms meet given all of the current settings and an incremental turning of the Center gear. These series of points are connected in a smooth curve which constitutes one design. Using this emulator to save many designs together is what makes it so beautiful.

There are generally two types of design suites one would make using this software - one would be a series of closely packed varied designs while drawing few designs and painting (coloring in) overlapping symmetrical shapes would be another type. One can save their results either as PDF files or make screen captures with external tools like Snipping Tool or Greenshot etc., load custom text design specification files (MGS), share them with other users who have installed this app or even share them across different implementations of this emulator.

This software uses The High Fidelity 2D Graphics Rendering Engine for C++ known as Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) which provides high-quality graphics rendering capabilities while FLTK serves as its GUI toolkit providing easy-to-use interface elements like buttons etc., making it simple enough even for beginners who have never used any graphic designing software before! For PDF output generation purposes it uses http://libharu.org/ library that provides powerful features like font embedding etc., making sure your final output looks professional-grade!

In conclusion, if you're looking for an easy-to-use yet powerful tool set that will allow you to create mathematically inspired designs quickly and easily then look no further than Magic Designer Emulator! With its intuitive interface elements combined with high-quality graphics rendering capabilities provided by AGG engine alongwith PDF output generation support via libharu library - there's nothing stopping anyone from creating stunningly beautiful artwork right away!
