Paragraphic is a graphic design application that combines traditional vector illustration tools with parametric and procedural design features. Users draw or import graphic layers and then append a sequence of procedural 'nodes' to each layer to non-destructively repeat or modify content. It supports complex repetitions, gradients, patterns, custom vector halftones, and data-driven parametric designs, with SVG import/export to work alongside other design tools. It is built with the Godot engine for cross-platform use on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
