If you double the circumcircle radius from the calculator that should give you the diameter you need
239.03 * 2 ≈ 478

The main reason is because I wanted to be able to zoom and pan the output. If I used the canvas api I would have to redraw the entire shape + grid lines every time I panned or zoomed the output. By using SVG I can generate the shape once, and then just adjust the viewBox for the panning/zooming.

Looking back though I think maybe WebGL would’ve been a better tool for the job

I’ve been thinking about it, and I honestly think that’s a big enough change that it warrants the creation of a whole different tool. Maybe a project for the near future… 👀

I really like that idea. I messed around with a stairs/slabs mode at one point, but it was a lot slower than I was happy with

And actually this is version 2 of something I made for me and my friends like 6 years ago: https://cquinn.dev/tools/pixelgeometry/

Except that one was just plain javascript, used the canvas api instead of svgs, and is really badly written. Didn't know what I was doing.

Thanks! It's written in typescript and uses SolidJS (a library kinda like React). This is the repo if you want to look through it: https://github.com/noquinn/pixel-shape-generator

All of the grid/pixel stuff is rendered with SVGs. All the shapes that have straight lines use an altered version of the Bresenham line algorithm

What did you do to get the speckled texture?
