(Circle + Square)/Triangle: Using Shape-Based Expressions for Image Creation and Exploration

Year: 2023 Authors: John Nicholson

Core claim

Shapes and curves can be treated as operands in mathematical expressions, and software can evaluate these expressions to create novel static and animated visual compositions.

Topics

shape-based expressions, image creation, animation, curve operations, motion and translation

Domains

parametric equations, geometric transformations, complex plane-inspired operators, curve composition, density plots, generative art, computer graphics, visual exploration

Methods

evaluating expressions with shape operands, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of shapes, rotation and translation of operands, offset-based motion over discrete steps, path-based rendering

Media

software, static images, animations, density plots, supplementary materials
