My idea was to use the brackets from musical notation as inspiration; if you know some principles of typography, it is rather straight-forward to come up with a pleasing design of such a bracket, using a cascade of golden ratio relationships. BUT ... all of this is geometry, and translating that into a symbolic or numerical calculation is excessively complicated. Thus I looked for ways to use some geometry or CAD software to build such a construction. The geometry software I tired was woefully inadequate for this task. Using the Constraint system in FreeCAD, building the construction went smooth and straight forward, but then I was unable to export that drawing in a way indicating the construction clearly. So in the end, I'll have to hand-pick the resulting numerical coordinates from the FreeCAD XML document and integrate them directly into Cairo drawing code... |
