Fractal Friday 2020.01.24

This week I’ve been busy working on the MathPaint architecture so didn’t develop any obvious fractal rendering features… Though I did succeed in getting some optimizations in to speed things up, and the fractal renderer is now fully concurrent (using Cocoa OperationQueue and Operation objects.) This week I chose to explore another of my favorite … Read moreFractal Friday 2020.01.24

Scalar fields for gradients and other graphic patterns

The Mathaesthetics flagship app will support a number of modes of mathematical image creation. I spent most of yesterday working on and improving the scalar field renderer. In a scalar field, a function f(x, y) produces a value for each point. This scalar value is then mapped to a color gradient. I’m exploring both different … Read moreScalar fields for gradients and other graphic patterns
