This looks very interesting! I have few questions:

1) Can this export the settings/parameters into a text format like JSON, such that I could import that file and recreate the same circle?

2) If the above is true, is there a way to use this tool from the command line, for scripting? Like `./magic_circle.exe --file settings.json --output circle.png` ?

This would be an awesome way to generate some specific circles in batches, I would simply have a python script modify the JSON before calling this to generate the image.

Thanks!

Thanks!

So you can import/export circle settings in JSON, but there's no built-in way to batch-create them, although it shouldn't be too hard to implement. I believe there is a way to do it with automated browser scripting, but I've never tried it, so you would be in uncharted waters. It's also possible to write some custom JS functions and run them from the inspector in chrome, but you'd have to reverse-engineer the code which technically goes against the license. But a custom license is always an option :)

If it isn't hard to implement, something like `./magic_circle.exe --file settings.json --output circle.png` to take in a previous export and generate a png would be perfect.
