Virgina Woolf drawing strategy

$

Hi,

The AxiDraw is a great piece of hardware.

I was looking at Virginia Woolf portrait in the examples (https://github.com/evil-mad/axidraw/blob/master/examples/less basic demos/Woolf.svg) and I am wondering what is the strategy used here.

I guess that the input image is the portrait done by George Charles Beresford in 1902 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Woolf#/media/File:George_Charles_Beresford_-Virginia_Woolf_in_1902-_Restoration.jpg).

I had a look at the SVG file ; it contains ~11 656 lines (11 656 path with a single segment).
I tried StippleGen but it is limited to 10 000 stipples and gets really hard to work with that many points.

Was it generated with StippleGen ?
(I thought that the portrait may have been generated from a TSP stopped very quick [ie. when not optimal but visually appealing]).

Would you have some pointers to replicate what has been done for Virginia Woolf ?

Great thanks !
Tom

Note : I received (in France) my AxiDraw V3 in 5 days ! Props for that too !

Edit: Stipples were double counted.
