'''StippleGen''' is a free, open source, and cross-platform utility from [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/ Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories] that can create stipple drawings (using [http://mrl.nyu.edu/~ajsecord/stipples.html Adrian Secord's algorithm]) and [[TSP art]] from image files. 
 
 
 
StippleGen saves its files as editable, Eggbot-ready Inkscape SVG files, which can in turn be opened by other vector graphics programs, or re-saved as PDF files for use in other contexts. It can also generate a TSP path from the stippled image, and either save that path as an SVG file or simply use that path as the order of plotting for the stipple diagram.
