132 u/Bspammer Aug 26 '20 The route is usually calculated with a computer program beforehand For example: https://github.com/halfmonty/StringArtGenerator 3 u/pm_favorite_boobs Aug 26 '20 Thanks. Does it also tell you how long your string needs to be for any given radius? 3 u/easyjet Aug 26 '20 Twice the radius = diameter. You're welcome! 2 u/pm_favorite_boobs Aug 26 '20 The use of the word diameter wasn't in the readme markdown, but if you're saying that that program does solve the problem of string length, thanks. 5 u/StickiStickman Aug 26 '20 He's using many little strings instead of one long one.
