Graphical user interfaces and techniques for generating digital spirographs

Abstract

This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that utilize a drawing application technique that enables a simulation of digital spirograph designs within electronic drawing applications. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a user selection of a primary shape. Moreover, in one or more implementations, the disclosed systems detect a user interaction with a contact point within a secondary shape to move the contact point from a first location to a second location. Furthermore, in one or more instances, the disclosed systems generate, for display, a digital line drawing from the first location to the second location utilizing a movement of the contact point in relation to a rotation of a secondary curve of the secondary shape along a movement path corresponding to a primary curve of the primary shape based on the user interaction with the contact point.
