jQuery Plugin For Random David Carson Inspired Art - Carson.js

Carson.js is a jQuery plugin which takes advantage of javascript and Html5 canvas element to make random David Carson inspired art.

How to use it:

1. The html

<canvas id="carson">You're browser doesn't support HTML5 canvas :(</canvas>

2. The CSS for this sample

canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0.3;
}

3. Load the jQuery javascript library and jQuery Carson.js script on the web page

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script src="carson.js"></script> 

4. The javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var stage = $('#carson');
var foo = setInterval(function(){
stage.carson({
width: 900,
height: 600,
use_colors: false,
});
}, 2000);
});
</script>

5. All the options

fonts: Array of your fonts.
width: Number for width of canvas.
height: Number for height of canvas.
use_colors: Boolean to make it black and white or randomized colors.
complexity: Number (1,2,3 or 4) to determine complexity level (higher is more complex).
use_textures: Boolean if you want textures on or off.
use_stepped_bars: Boolean if you want to use the technique of having thin stepped lines across the canvas.
use_random_complexity: Boolean if you want the complexity level to be randomized.
text: String a string of text to use — you'll likely want to override this.
textures: Array of your texture filenames (relative filepath is required — e.g: img1.jpg, img2.jpg).
