Comment on QLB (قلب) - Program in Arabic, display algorithms as calligraphyparent

No, I write the code normally, then I manually lay out the tile calligraphy and build the mosaics by hand. There's no way to automate the process that I know of. It's tricky to get everything to fit together and look right. I am a novice at this stuff, and master calligrapher Mamoun Sakkal's website has been a great help http://www.sakkal.com/instrctn/sq_kufi_alphabet.html.

The writeup could be more clear about how the mosaics are made, though. I'll update it.
