Picture Framing API
Picture-framing maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the mat-cutting and moulding numbers a framer or artist measures a job by. The mat endpoint sizes the mat board around an artwork: the window opening is the art minus a small overlap on each edge (≈ 0.25 inch so the mat holds the print), and the outer mat is the window plus the border widths — give one border or per-side borders, with a heavier bottom for a balanced, bottom-weighted mat, so an 8×10 print with a 2-inch border has a 7.5×9.5 window and an 11.5×13.5 mat. The moulding endpoint computes the frame stick needed: length = inner perimeter + 8 × the moulding width, because each of the four 45-degree mitred corners adds one moulding width — an 11.5×13.5 frame in 1.5-inch moulding needs 62.5 inches, plus any waste allowance. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for picture-framing, custom-framing, art-gallery and DIY app developers, mat-cutter and moulding-estimating tools, and framing education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Imperial inches in; lengths in inches and feet. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. A planning aid — measure twice, cut once.
