Nice page. In 2009, I wrote ('hacked together') a partial PostScript interpreter in C to debug some PostScript code I was writing to reproduce plate 13 from the Eléments de l'art arabe by Jules Bourgoin as reproduced in Arabic Geometrical Pattern & Design.

Program: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/PostScript_c.txt

PostScript file with first 31 plates: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/Bourgoin.ps

I do not know why I stopped at that point. Maybe it was because I realized that I should have used another approach to describe the geometric patterns and did not want to refactor all the PostScript I already wrote. But it might also that I got obsessed with another problem.
