A Ruby gem that deterministically generates tiling SVG geometric background patterns from an input string, using a SHA hash to select one of 16 pattern types and derive colors. The output can be embedded as an SVG string, Base64 data URI, or CSS background-image.

Use cases

• generate a unique background image from a string
• create generative geometric SVG patterns in ruby
• make deterministic identicon-style tile backgrounds
• add decorative patterned backgrounds to a website
• generate consistent header art for blog posts or guides
• seeded procedural pattern generation for avatars

When to choose

• you are working in Ruby and want string-seeded, reproducible SVG background patterns
• you need lightweight vector output that stays crisp on retina displays
• you want the same style of generative patterns used on GitHub Guides and Explore

When to avoid

• you need active development or new features, since the project is largely unmaintained
• you are outside the Ruby ecosystem, where the maintained JavaScript port may be a better fit
• you need raster (PNG/JPEG) output or pattern styles beyond the 16 built-in geometric generators
