AIGA Symbols

This display of AIGA symbols from The Noun Project was created with the SVGo library and the "nouns" program.

nouns -j -n 10  aiga/*.svg

The program works by loading SVG files from thenounproject, wrapping them in group elements, and then applying random location, scale, color, opacity, and rotation. These properties are define by the type:

type Props struct {
    x, y    int
    c       string
    s, o, r float64
}

Here's the function that does the work:

func Jumble(s *svg.SVG, icons []string, w, h, n int) {
    for c := 0; c < n; c++ {
        for _, i := range icons {
            RandProps(w, h).Apply(s, i)
        }
    }
}

Given a list of icons names, defined by SVG group ids, create and apply random properties bound by a width and height to the ids
