Ahmed, Abdalla G. M.R. Laramee and I. S. Lim2014-02-062014-02-0620111017-4656https://doi.org/10.2312/EG2011/posters/035-036AA Patterns is the name of a recently developed algorithmic art technique that employs a simple linear 2D transform to generate ornamental patterns of pixels. The patterns are controlled by a single real parameter between 1 and 2. By appropriately anatomizing this parameter it is shown that this single parameter actually allows much control over the patterns. Some potential uses are pointed out, too.
