Vexy Playlines
Choose an image and apply one of fourteen line-art patterns: the Vexy Playline web tool fills the object with vector dots or strokes.
These change live with the brightness of the original fill. From classic linear, halftone and stipple to trendy dither, hex, fractal or low-poly.

Original image or object
Parallel hatching that thickens in the shadows — classic engraving.
Flowing lines that bend with the image — organic and painterly.
Concentric rings radiating from the center, like ripples.
One unbroken line spiralling outward — abstract, meditative.
A dot grid sized by darkness — newspaper and comic-book print.
Thousands of seeded dots — hedcut portraits and engraving.
A honeycomb of hexagons that shrink in the shadows.
Tones grouped into bold regions — topographic, poster-ready.
A triangulated mesh of colour facets — technical and sculptural.
An ordered cell texture — graphic, 8-bit nostalgia.
Flowing mesh-like paths guided by the image — blueprint, hologram.
Space-filling zigzags — an intricate maze of tone.
Radiating chords like nail-and-string craft.
Text characters as pixels — retro terminal art.
